Hello All,
I would appreciate if someone could clear this dilemma I have. I wish to pursue higher Maritime studies in UK -
and would appreciate if some of you could throw some light on this matter.

For an ex-seafarer (Master Mariner) who wishes to pursue higher studies in UK - (MBA or MSc) with the ultimate aim of working there (Yes - I can sense some inhospitable comments!) (pref. research in Academic circles, teaching or office job in UK - in that order),

a) Which UK universities and which courses do you feel would be best suited?
(I have an interest in general maritime sciences including Maritime law and insurance, but the job availability would be the deciding factor. (Yes - I've completed the MICS exams and won an award in one of the papers, so you could say I have a slight academic inclination)

b) I presently am down to London Metropolitan (MSc Maritime transport) and Greeenwich Maritime (MBA Shipping) and Southampton (Maritime Law)

c) Yes - I am familiar and prepared for the fact that studying there would be hardwork and does not guarantee a job.

Appreciatively ,
Captain Anshuman Naik

Here are is a list of maritime MBAs: http://www.find-mba.com/search/q/maritime -- the only one offered in the UK being Greenwich.
There also are some good discussions in this board about maritime LLMs: esp. http://www.llm-guide.com/board/2481
