The World Maritime University is an international institution with a student body that reflects the global population the maritime industry serves. Our alumni have gone on to occupy critical positions across sectors. They include Heads of State, government ministers, diplomats, industry leaders, academics, civil society leaders, and port administrators. WMU alumni are the people managing the world’s maritime activity every day, making sure it is safe, secure, efficient, and sustainable.

The importance of WMU engaging more actively with its alumni is reflected across nearly all aspects of the University’s work. As a key player in the global maritime and oceans community, WMU is proudly represented worldwide by its alumni, who serve as its most influential ambassadors. Since the adoption of the Alumni Engagement Strategy, approximately 40 alumni associations have been established, with many more currently in development.
