2007, under the directions of Federal Government, to provide seat of excellence for maritime

policy research, serve as Think-Tank for multidisciplinary study of maritime affairs and cardinal

guidelines & solutions to the challenges in maritime domain.

NCMPR core objectives are to promote maritime education, increase public awareness, conduct

subjects. To promote maritime education and awareness, NCMPR has taken lead in instituting

formal education in maritime sector by offering HEC accredited MBA in Logistics & Maritime

Director’s Message

Bahria University is a multi-campus institution of higher education, which remains committed to the attainment of highest standards in teaching, learning and research. The scholars and professionals it produces are encouraged to pursue truth, civility and integrity. In pursuing this mission, the University has following objectives.

Establish campuses, Research Institutes, schools and colleges across the length and breadth of Pakistan to turn the rapidly increasing population into knowledge based force.

Prepare the younger generation to become future leaders and managers for a prosperous and educated Pakistan, through development of their physical, mental, moral and professional strengths.

Ensure academic excellence through quality education in disciplined and peaceful learning environments.

Offer students the benefits of intellectual challenge, and to nurture skills and qualities they need for their professional careers ahead and to enable them to achieve full potential as individuals.

Constantly monitor and upgrade facilities and update the curricula to keep pace with the emerging trends and technologies.

Coordinate and provide facilities for exchange of knowledge and applied research in the newly emerging field in collaboration with national and international universities and research institutions.

Bahria University has become the first Pakistani university to join more than 300 universities across Asia-Pacific that have deployed mobile computing and wireless technologies besides being the first to link its degree program with community services. It is in this context that the University has taken the initiative to launch a degree &diploma programme in maritime studies at National Centre for Maritime Policy Research to undertake academic and research pursuits in the maritime domain. The objectives of the programmes emanate from the fact that despite Pakistan’s important geostrategic location abreast Arabian Sea and vast resources of untapped economic potential in Exclusive Economic Zone; training based education in maritime sector has largely remained long neglected. It is thus important for the future sustainable growth of economy and particularly for maritime sector that Pakistan must judiciously exploit sea resources, for which availability of well trained and professional human resources is a necessity.

Role of maritime sector in the economy of the country need no emphasis. Efficient maritime

sector backed by modern technology and practices is indispensable. Shipping, transportation

and port facilitator play a pivotal role in supporting trade and directly contribute towards national

economy. Despite the lack of maritime orientation at national level, the maritime community of

Karachi has been playing an important role.

PROFILE OF THE BAHRIA UNIVERSITY

Today this role is flourishing more and more and it has resulted in a vibrant maritime cluster and

related corporate network. However, these stakeholders have been unable to find adequately

educated and trained manpower to cope with the rapid changes and advancements in the trade

regime. Moreover, there has been an ever-increasing demand in the top management of

maritime sector due to globalization, competitive pressures and the speed of technological

changes.

NCMPR is a constituent unit of Bahria University. NCMPR has launched Post Graduate Diploma

(Logistics & Port Management), Executive MBA (Logistics & Port Management),full MBA

programmes and Certificate Courses to meet the needs of Maritime Sector stakeholders.

NCMPR focuses its academic programs more and more on the global maritime industry as it

wishes to exploit its core competencies in this domain to the fullest. The objective of these

programs are to strengthen the management capacities of the people working within the maritime

companies and organizations in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to

be effective leaders in a rapidly expanding maritime industry and its global complexities. The

students after qualifying would be able to develop a broad understanding of many challenges in

the maritime sector and acquire top international skills in business administration, reflecting the

needs of the industry in the world and also apply modern management theories and practices in

the maritime sector.
