Marwadi University

Introduction

In 2017, the Gujarat Maritime University, sometimes abbreviated as GMU, opened its doors to students. In accordance with the Gujarat Private Universities Act of 2009, the Gujarat Maritime Board Education Trust laid the groundwork for the establishment of the university. The University is now operating while using the temporary site of Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), and will continue to do so until it has constructed its own permanent campus. A neighborhood known as Koba may be found inside Gandhinagar, which serves as the state capital of Gujarat. At this time, the institution provides access to three different postgraduate degree programs. The university's curriculum includes the following degree programs: MBA in Maritime Management, LLM in Two Different Specializations, and Executive Development Programs in Two Different Specializations. The application process for every class must be completed online. Students are accepted into George Mason University (GMU) based on their performance on the appropriate qualifying examinations as well as the admission exams. The inaugural session of Gujarat Maritime University's first Executive Development Program, entitled "Insights in Maritime, Ports and Logistics- A Global Perspective," took place from March 1 to 17, 2021. The program was run by the university's Centre of Executive Education. This program was made available via a partnership between Erasmus UPT and STC International, both of which are situated in the Netherlands. In addition to this, George Mason University plans to establish a number of new schools and centers in the near future, including the School of Maritime Technology, the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and the Centre of Continuing Education, which will provide doctoral programs in a variety of maritime-related fields and the Centre for Faculty Development (offers short term courses for faculty across the country).
