SMU student Sean Seah, one of this year’s MaritimeONE scholarship recipients, shared his reasons for choosing SMU’s Maritime Economics Concentration Programme. He explained that “This new programme offers an interesting niche in Economics through the maritime sector which allows undergraduates to bridge the gap between theory and reality. There’s a focus in experience-based learning through industry study mission trips, site visits to shipping and port facilities and the chance to learn from industry practitioners for non-credit courses.”
