"C-MAT, situated in the beautiful city of Antwerp from the bottom of my heart, was an extraordinary year full of learning, love and laughter..., while the year was extremely challenging, we became a family that studied, worked, traveled and of course celebrated Antwerp together. We have indeed made an international mark in Belgium, representing practically all 4 corners of the earth and become friends f

Testimonial Anh Thi Ta

"For 5 years I worked in various commercial functions, especially local market research and logistics commercial projects, for a container port in Vietnam. Then, I made the important decision to leave my job to gain the higher education in the industry. And, C-MAT was my choice, thanks to the introduction of one reliable friend in my industry professionals network. Studying at C-MAT did not only bring me the interesting experience but opportunities also. All people at C-MAT were very helpful and friendly. I experienced the cross-cultural environment of studying, discussion, and researching with a diverse number of learners, professors, and industrial professionals from different nations. C-MAT offered me the chance to open my eyes to the global maritime supply chain scene and widen my knowledge through valuable theoretical and practical aspects of various subjects, such as: international business environment, legal and regulatory framework, technical & innovation, transport economics and policy, strategic management, port economics, maritime economics, cost modelling, etc…. with high-qualified professors and dedicated industry professionals. I got chances to join the course’s networking activities and was provided with the insights of many different facts and figure in the industry. I will never forget the joyful studying time at C-MAT and my unforgettable memories; especially, the field trip to Rotterdam modern port, visiting Antwerp port by airplane, and being achieved the “Master Dissertation Award 2015-2016”. C-MAT eventually was an unforgettable experience of my life. And, I believe that C-MAT is a gateway to open a new opportunity for its learners in their career path."
