We are delighted to announce that the first student who received IUMI’s bursary for the prestigious World Maritime University (WMU) postgraduate degree programme in Marine Insurance Law & Practice passed the course and has been awarded the diploma at the virtual graduation ceremony on 4 November 2021. Michelangelo Todoro, Marine Underwriter at Chubb in Italy, successfully graduated as first recipient of the bursary which is an important component of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between IUMI and the WMU.

Michelangelo enjoyed the intense one-year distant learning course and emphasised that it widened his horizon, offering new insights into the maritime industry which helped him grow professionally.

IUMI’s Education Forum is excited to see this first candidate succeed. The WMU's postgraduate diploma in Marine Insurance Law & Practice is an outstanding professional qualification for any marine insurance professional. Michelangelo completing the course successfully will be a source of inspiration for other students to follow.

We wish Michelangelo all the best and success in his future endeavours!
