According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the college has adopted the training mode of "3+ 1", that is, if the students' academic performance in the first three years meets the requirements of the Netherlands and pass the English exam, they can apply to go to the University of Zeeland in the Netherlands (or its partner Fantys University in the Netherlands) to complete the fourth year's course and graduation design, and those who pass the exam can get a bachelor's degree and a degree from Shanghai Maritime University, and at the same time get the University of Zeeland in the Netherlands (or its partner Fantys University in the Netherlands)
In 2006, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Shanghai Maritime University and the University of Zeeland in the Netherlands jointly organized an undergraduate education project. In 2007, the project was included in the national college entrance examination enrollment plan. On May 20 10, Sino-Dutch Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (Sino-Dutch Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering) was established and co-located with School of Logistics Engineering of Shanghai Maritime University.
