Field Studies Program M.Sc. students benefit from a unique program of

global field studies at host organizations such as shipping companies, ports authorities, maritime administrations, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations, all over the world. The co-operation of an enormous range of global institutions offers WMU M.Sc. students a unique opportunity to experience for themselves the application of the latest therories and technologies in real-life maritime situations, and to forge bonds with a global network of maritime professionals.

The program varies each year and by specialization. For example, in 2012, Shipping and Port Management students are visiting locations including Greece, Denmark, Singapore, Rotterdam and Hamburg; Maritime Safety and Environmental Administration students are visiting Istanbul, Malta, Korea (Pusan/ Seoul), Germany, Norway and Denmark; Maritime Education and Training students are going to France, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden; and Maritime Law and Policy students will visit the Hague, Hamburg (ITLOS), Chile (Santiago), and the UK (IMO meetings).

English & Study Skills Program (ESSP) - MalmÜ, Sweden The ESSP is a 3-month program open to students joining WMU’s standard M.Sc. program, or to independent students.

ALUMNI

WMU has 3,240 alumni from 163 countries, increasing by ~200 graduates annually. The alumni maintain close linkages, creating a unique maritime global network. Graduates hold key posts in maritime education, governments, maritime administrations, ports and shipping companies, or represent their governments internationally. Using Turkey as an example, HE Binali Yıldırım (M.Sc. Class of 1991, Malmö) has served as Minister of Transport and Communication since 2003, and HE İsmet Yılmaz (M.Sc. Class of 1990, Malmö) was appointed Minister of National Defence in 2011. A third Turkish WMU graduate, Mr. Suat Aka (M.Sc. Class of 1990, Malmö), is Deputy Undersecretary in the Ministry of Transport and Communication. WMU is immensely proud of the achievements of these accomplished Turkish alumni, just as we are proud of the accomplishments of all our alumni and the global maritime network they constitute.

The large number of Chinese graduates is explained by the 459 M.Sc. graduates of the outreach programs in Shanghai and Dalian.

Gender WMU has taken seriously the empowerment of women in the maritime world, as part of the UN Millennium Goals. Until the late 1990s, female students made up less than 5% of the intake to the Malmรถ program. With the support of fellowship donors, the proportion of women has now risen to more than 30% of the annual intake, thereby equipping the global maritime sector with highly educated, powerful female managers.

RESEARCH

WMU’s research program has been invigorated with new research projects and a restructured Ph.D. degree structure. Research is part of WMU’s mission and was given priority in the Strategic Vision Plan 2010-2015. At present, WMU is generating a gross income for the University of ~€1.6 million. The research budget is not part of the regular WMU operational budget; income must equal expenditure, and so research does not generate a net profit. Besides EU funding, WMU is a contractor for IMO and UN agency projects, as well as other maritime organizations worldwide. The research projects fund Research Associates and Research Assistants, and have extended WMU’s publication record, reputation, and international impact.

RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

University Building WMU’s building is a gift-in-kind from the City of Malmö.

WMU’s current 2,600 m2 home dates from the 1960s, and will be replaced in 2013 by the historic Tornhuset, with the addition of a new, architect-designed extension, in the heart of Malmö. The new 5,600 m2 building will provide WMU with outstanding facilities for growth and expansion, with a large auditorium and new research facilities.

Library The WMU Library offers a specialist resource for the university’s core activities. It has a print collection of more than 20,000 titles, including books, reports, and documents from IMO and other UN agencies, audio-visual materials, and 1,700 WMU dissertations. The library maintains a core of 350 periodical print titles, and has access to thousands more in electronic format via database subscriptions and commercial maritime web sites. The library portal address is www.wmu.se/library.

Journal During the past decade, the WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs has become a well-recognized leading maritime journal. In 2011, it was agreed that Springer Verlag would publish and distribute the Journal to help increase subscription and publication impact. Drs. Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs and Max Mejia continue to serve as editor and co-editor, respectively. Each issue of the electronic version of the Journal contains at least four open access articles, which increase citations and expand the global impact of the Journal.

Henrik Smith Residence WMU students in Malmö are welcome to live at the Henrik Smith Residence (HSR), located 3 km from WMU. HSR has 216 single study-bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and access to cooking facilities.

The rent varies from €500 for students to €700/month for non-students.

15

FINANCES

WMU’s total budget in 2011 was almost €8 million, a 20% increase over 2010, due to a significant increase in enrollment and increased development, leading to a net budget surplus in 2011 as in 2010. WMU relies on voluntary contributions without any guarantee of continued support from year to year. In contrast universities worldwide receive the majority of their income from their government, as OECD figures clearly demonstrate (stats.oecd.org/index.aspx). In Europe, on average, the government contributes 74% of universities’ funding.

IMO, which is WMU’s equivalent of a national government, contributes 3%-7% of the annual operational budget. Sweden, WMU’s host country, contributes 30-40% annually. Japan is a vital contributor, both to the operational budget (Nippon Foundation Professorial Chairs) and in the form of student fellowships (Ocean Policy Research Foundation). However, WMU relies on a narrow donor base, which makes it vulnerable to global events such as the 2008 financial crisis. WMU’s sources of funding according to country of origin is shown below: Origin of Income by Country Sweden Japan IMO – Technical Cooperation People’s Republic of China Nigeria United Kingdom Republic of Korea Canada EU SAFEMED Project Others

DEVELOPMENT

WMU depends almost entirely on voluntary contributions. China Classification Society, Class NK, Korean Registry of Shipping, Shindong Digital, Gard AS, BP Shipping, and others have already contributed donations for the new WMU facility.

Desired Donations Full student fellowships covering tuition, field studies, accommodation and living costs, for students from the least developed countries:

€36,000 each

University fee student fellowships covering tuition and field studies, for students with some government/employer support:

€17,500 each

Commemorative Professorial Chair, endowed in perpetuity:

Limited-term Professorial Chair for 5 years:

€2 million €800,000

The move to the new University premises in 2013 is very exciting. It is WMU’s hope to solicit donors to support WMU’s education, research, and capacity building mission by sponsoring facilities in the new premises, and in return having their names enshrined in the University.
