At the GMU Faculty of Navigation, students develop the knowledge and practical skills essential for a career in international shipping. Their classroom learning is enriched through hands-on sessions in cutting-edge laboratories, and as cadets they gain invaluable experience training at sea on board the University’s ships Dar Młodzieży and Horyzont II.

The Faculty of Navigation comprises the departments of Navigation, Ship Operations, 
And Transport, and the Modelling and Mathematical Methods in Transport Lab.  

Students at the Faculty of Navigation benefit from access to specialist laboratories equipped with the latest technology. 
From simulators and computer workstations to a planetarium — our students develop not only knowledge, but above all, practical skills. 

The most important global forum for the exchange of views and experience in the field of maritime transport and related disciplines, the International Conference on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation, is a cyclical event organised biannually since 1995 by the Faculty of Navigation and The Nautical Institute.

The Faculty of Navigation makes excellent use of its unique location on Gdynia’s waterfront, organising Navigator’s Day – an event that brings the Faculty community together – both on land and at sea. Sports competitions on Gdynia’s city beach and races in Gdynia Bay are just some of the highlights of this annual celebration!
