Completion of the first diploma thesis within the NMU consortium

Tuesday, 25 August 2009  |  Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

Last week, the first diploma thesis with the involvement of four NMU partners was completed. Bremen University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and Kiel University of Applied Sciences (Germany) supervised the graduand who is enrolled in Kiel. Comments to the thesis and information regarding the topic have been provided by University of Southern Denmark (Denmark) and Pantrak (Scotland).

The thesis, titled “International Maritime Human Resource Management onboard Ships”, covers the aspects of HRM for seafarers – from the regulatory framework to individual social or intercultural concerns – a maritime business manager should have knowledge about. Contents of the thesis will serve as input for the new module “International Maritime Human Resource Management” which will be available partly as e-learning material. To provide learners with complete all round competence regarding HRM, the University of Southern Denmark – who coordinates all work for the new module – is doing research on shore-based maritime HRM.

Matthias Hahn, NMU graduand, mentioned: “For me, it was a wonderful experience working together with and getting input from such experienced experts. Gavin Roser explained to me a vessel’s staff structure together with their chores and Willi Wittig commented parts of my thesis while Thomas Pawlik and Maria Anne Wagtmann provided me with valuable ideas for a thesis structure, just to name some examples. But whoever I asked within the NMU consortium was eager to help and support me. I am very thankful and really learned a lot – not only concerning “Human Resource Management onboard Ships, but also about teamwork within an EU project.”
