Professor Adam Weintrit, PhD, DSc, FRIN, FNI, Master Mariner

Studying at the Faculty of Navigation is a truly elite experience. I have no doubt that choosing the Navigation programme could be the best decision you’ll make – it is certainly one of the most attractive study options available in Poland. 

The degree is demanding, but graduates acquire the opportunity to work as officers on merchant ships in international shipping anywhere in the world, without any restrictions. By earning this highly responsible qualification as a navigator, supported by solid knowledge, practical skills, and professional competencies, you will feel a great sense of pride and satisfaction. Your effort will be well rewarded, with excellent career prospects and competitive, European-level pay from the very start. The potential for further advancement is immense, opening the path toward the highest maritime qualification – that of Master Mariner.

Your strong personality, interest in technical subjects, diligence, perseverance, and leadership qualities will all help you succeed. The profession you will gain – one that combines prestige, responsibility, and a touch of romance – is truly unlike any other.
