Countries with most WMU Graduates

The large number of Chinese graduates is explained by the 459 M.Sc. graduates of the outreach programs in Shanghai and Dalian.

Gender WMU has taken seriously the empowerment of women in the maritime world, as part of the UN Millennium Goals. Until the late 1990s, female students made up less than 5% of the intake to the Malmö program. With the support of fellowship donors, the proportion of women has now risen to more than 30% of the annual intake, thereby equipping the global maritime sector with highly educated, powerful female managers.

RESEARCHWMU’s research program has been invigorated with new research projectsand a restructured Ph.D. degree structure. Research is part of WMU’s missionand was given priority in the Strategic Vision Plan 2010-2015. At present, WMUis generating a gross income for the University of ~€1.6 million. The researchbudget is not part of the regular WMU operational budget; income must equalexpenditure, and so research does not generate a net profit. Besides EUfunding, WMU is a contractor for IMO and UN agency projects, as well as othermaritime organizations worldwide. The research projects fund ResearchAssociates and Research Assistants, and have extended WMU’s publicationrecord, reputation, and international impact.

RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

University Building WMU’s building is a gift-in-kind from the City of Malmö. WMU’s current 2,600 m2 home dates from the 1960s, and will be replaced in 2013 by the historic Tornhuset, with the addition of a new, architect-designed extension, in the heart of Malmö. The new 5,600 m2 building will provide WMU with outstanding facilities for growth and expansion, with a large auditorium and new research facilities.

Library The WMU Library offers a specialist resource for the university’s core activities. It has a print collection of more than 20,000 titles, including books, reports, and documents from IMO and other UN agencies, audio-visual materials, and 1,700 WMU dissertations. The library maintains a core of 350 periodical print titles, and has access to thousands more in electronic format via database subscriptions and commercial maritime web sites. The library portal address is www.wmu.se/library.

Journal During the past decade, the WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs hasbecome a well-recognized leading maritime journal. In 2011, it was agreed that Springer Verlag would publish and distribute the Journal to help increase subscription and publication impact. Drs. Jens-Uwe Schröder-Hinrichs and Max Mejia continue to serve as editor and co-editor, respectively. Each issue of the electronic version of the Journal contains at least four open access articles, which increase citations and expand the global impact of the Journal.

Henrik Smith Residence WMU students in Malmö are welcome to live at the Henrik Smith Residence (HSR), located 3 km from WMU. HSR has 216 single study-bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and access to cooking facilities. The rent varies from €500 for students to €700/month for non-students.

16

FINANCESWMU’s total budget in 2011 was almost €8 million, a 20% increase over 2010,due to a significant increase in enrollment and increased development, leadingto a net budget surplus in 2011 as in 2010. WMU relies on voluntary contribu-tions without any guarantee of continued support from year to year. In contrastuniversities worldwide receive the majority of their income from their government,as OECD figures clearly demonstrate (stats.oecd.org/index.aspx). In Europe,on average, the government contributes 74% of universities’ funding.IMO, which is WMU’s equivalent of a national government, contributes 3%-7%of the annual operational budget. Sweden, WMU’s host country, contributes30-40% annually. Japan is a vital contributor, both to the operational budget(Nippon Foundation Professorial Chairs) and in the form of student fellowships(Ocean Policy Research Foundation). However, WMU relies on a narrow donorbase, which makes it vulnerable to global events such as the 2008 financial crisis. WMU’s sources of funding according to country of origin is shown below:

DEVELOPMENTWMU depends almost entirely on voluntary contributions. China ClassificationSociety, Class NK, Korean Registry of Shipping, Shindong Digital, Gard AS, BPShipping, and others have already contributed donations for the new WMUfacility.

Desired Donations

Full student fellowships covering tuition, field studies, accommodation and living costs, for students from the least developed countries: €36,000 each

University fee student fellowships covering tuition and field studies, for students with some government/employer support: €17,500 each

Commemorative Professorial Chair, endowed in perpetuity: €2 million

Limited-term Professorial Chair for 5 years: €800,000

The move to the new University premises in 2013 is very exciting. It is WMU’shope to solicit donors to support WMU’s education, research, and capacitybuilding mission by sponsoring facilities in the new premises, and in returnhaving their names enshrined in the University.
