An education that equips the Blue Denmark and the maritime sector for the challenges they face in the future.

HD2 Maritime

Registration is open for the HD programme starting in August/September. The registration deadline is 17 June 2024.

An HD2 Maritime is a specialised programme that equips you with skills in two vital areas: shipping and business development.

With an HD2 Maritime, you will be able to analyse and address global challenges such as the green transition, digitalisation, and geopolitical changes - challenges that all global companies must relate to and navigate.

During the programme, you will gain competences to optimise your company’s value chains with a focus on suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders, giving you and your company unique competitive advantages due to the special combination of shipping, business understanding, and business optimisation.

Students develop a unique competence profile that positions them as frontrunners in the maritime sector and pioneers of the green transition. The programme offers a flexible structure that builds on the latest research from CBS’s skilled faculty and is based on the individual student’s working reality.
