Education at GMU
Gdynia Maritime University (GMU) is the oldest maritime University in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. The University educates merchant fleet officers, engineers and managers for roles within the maritime industry and the coastal region at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree levels. GMU offers full-time and part-time studies, postgraduate diplomas, and an MBA programme, supplementary education for officers and maritime industry specialists, as well as certification and specialist courses.
We are a civilian-profile university, and as such, graduates studying maritime courses find employment within the merchant fleet, which opens doors leading them out into the world. All our graduates – from both maritime and land-based programmes – are sought-after professionals, well-prepared to pursue successful careers, not necessarily limited to the maritime industry. We also educate specialists in fields such as logistics, quality engineering, management, and computer science. Gdynia Maritime University is made up of five dynamically developing faculties: Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Marine Engineering, Navigation, and Management and Quality Science, within which it develops its scientific and teaching activities on 53 degree programmes across 13 academic fields.
Our students are taught by a highly educated team of academic lecturers, guaranteeing the highest standard of teaching.
The University meets global standards set by the STCW Convention in the training of merchant navy officers, and its Quality Management System, which complies with ISO 9001: 2015, is applied to the full scope of its activity. The prestigious standing of our University is further reflected in its membership of the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU).
Gdynia Maritime University makes every effort to ensure that all students get the best out of the time they spend with us and consider the education and experience they gain as inspiring and useful in every way.
