A fundamental goal of the Faculty of Maritime studies is to provide high-quality, efficient, and innovative education across all levels of study that aligns with the needs of business and society. We utilize advanced equipment, simulators, modern laboratories, well-equipped classrooms, workshops, a training ship, and dedicated training grounds. Our team comprises over 80 faculty members along with external experts, all committed to helping you achieve success in your chosen courses.
In addition to traditional teaching methods, we continually integrate cutting-edge technology and innovative learning models to develop both professional competencies and essential transversal skills. We emphasize practical learning experiences through work-based models to equip you for active participation in the labor market. We foster an individualized approach in our teaching, encouraging small group interactions within a stimulating and creative atmosphere. We highly value student feedback and routinely conduct surveys to monitor teaching quality and student satisfaction.
Creating a sense of belonging is paramount as you embark on your academic journey. There are numerous opportunities for extracurricular engagement, including participation in student organization, clubs, international cooperation projects, professional training, various workshops, specialized summer schools, and mobility programs organized within the Faculty and the broader university system. We also promote diverse sports activities such as sailing, rowing, basketball, and handball, as well as opportunities for humanitarian work.
Experiences at other educational institutions, especially abroad, significantly enhance the learning process and provide valuable insights. The Faculty supports mobility through various programs such as Erasmus+, CEEPUS, and YUFE, enabling you to enrich your educational experience.
Your employability and success after graduation are critical measures of our effectiveness, evaluation and promotion. Our graduates have secured prominent positions in renowned shipping companies, both at sea (including roles as ship captains and chief engineers on vessels for Maersk, CMA CGM, TK, Shell, Columbia, etc.) and on land (senior management roles at Maersk, Columbia, CMA CGM, etc.).
We offer systematic support throughout your studies and beyond, with initiatives led by the Center for Career Development and the ALUMNI Club. These initiatives include career planning, connecting students with potential employers, organizing workshops to enhance job readiness skills, and hosting various events such as guest lectures, alumni gatherings, and Career Days. We enjoy robust partnerships with companies in the maritime and transport sectors, fostering excellent career prospects for our students.
Our students are at the heart of our academic community. By actively participating in all aspects of faculty life – teaching, research, quality assurance – we can collaboratively achieve our shared vision: “With knowledge we sail the world.”
Wishing you all great success in your studies,
Prof. Ana Perić Hadžić, Dean
