Gujarat Maritime University was founded in 2017 and is also referred to as GMU. In accordance with the Gujarat Private Universities Act of 2009, the Gujarat Maritime Board Education Trust established the university. Until a permanent home of its own is created, the University currently conducts its operations out of Gujarat National Law University's (GNLU) temporary campus. It is situated in a region known as Koba in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat. Three postgraduate programs are currently offered by the college. The university offers two specializations in LLM, two specializations in EDP, and an MBA in Maritime Management in addition to other courses. Online applications are required for all courses. The grades obtained on the appropriate qualifying exams and entrance exams determine a student's admission to GMU.
From March 1–17, 2021, Gujarat Maritime University's Center of Executive Education hosted its inaugural Executive Development Program, "Insights in Maritime, Ports and Logistics–A Global Perspective." The program was provided in association with STC International, a Netherlands-based organization, and Erasmus UPT. Furthermore, GMU has suggested a number of future schools, including the School of Maritime Technology and the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, as well as centers, including the Center of Faculty Development and the Center of Continuing Education, which provide short-term courses for faculty nationwide and grant PhDs in a range of maritime-related subjects.
