Check if you qualify

B.Sc. Port and Shipping Administration at Regional Maritime University is a business-focused degree for the maritime industry. It covers the management of ports, shipping lines, cargo operations, and international trade logistics. The programme is offered in both regular and weekend sessions, and admission is less competitive than many other university programmes.

Studying port and shipping administration

This programme sits at the intersection of business and the maritime world. Coursework usually covers how ports operate, how shipping lines are run, how cargo is moved and cleared, and the legal and financial side of international trade. You build skills in logistics, management, customs procedures, and trade documentation — useful across many industries, not just on the waterfront.

How hard it is to get a place

Admission to this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses at Ghanaian universities. That means if your WASSCE results are solid, you stand a good chance of getting a place, but you should still check the exact grade requirements with the university. The programme is open to both regular and weekend students, so it can fit around work or other commitments.

Where graduates typically work

Most graduates go into operational or administrative roles in seaports, shipping companies, and freight forwarding firms. Others work in customs brokerage, shipping agency, logistics planning, or the maritime departments of government and international organisations. The combination of business knowledge and maritime insight makes graduates valuable wherever goods move across borders.
