Current Vice-President of "New Democracy" opposition party of the Hellenic Republic

"The world of Shipping in a nutshell. A truly innovative way to learn about the fascinating issues which matter today in the Shipping industry, delivered by a College with a long tradition in Shipping management studies."

Mr. Dimitris Tsikopoulos

CEO Navarino

"For seafarers looking to further their education, e-learning is by far the most efficient choice in terms of both time and cost. The great value of e- learning stems from its flexibility, affordability and portability, three factors which combine to make it ideal for those who spend a lot of time at sea. Furthermore, thanks to the latest advances in satellite communications technology, E learning is now more accessible than ever before. It is therefore with great pleasure that we look forward to working in conjunction with the BCA college to offer this degree ‘online, onboard’."

Dr. George Gratsos

President of the Hellenic Chamber of Shipping

"As the shipping industry evolves, the need for qualified staff and particularly executives increases. I believe that BCA’s Online MSc in Shipping covers important aspects facing today’s Shipping companies. It also does so in a friendly, well designed learning environment which I haven’t yet seen from other shipping programmes.

BCA’s Online MSc in Shipping has a curriculum which I believe would greatly assist future executives in their understanding of a constantly changing industry as complicated and demanding as Shipping. The programme is designed with an easy to use learning environment which should help future executives in their understanding of the industry and its many facets.
Congratulations."

Ms. Dora Bakoyannis

Former Minister of Foreign Affairs

"Shipping makes the world go round, all around the world. At the same time, well into the digital revolution of our era, there are no borders for those who seek to enhance knowledge, explore new paths, acquire new skills, and realize new developments. And new developments in the maritime world are a tour de force both for the Greek as well as for the international economy. In BCA’s online MSc in Shipping, opportunity meets education and education meets destination-future as the classroom comes wherever the laptop is, to open up a world of possibilities. Congratulations BCA. Keep on sailing!"
