Dear Prospective Students,
 
In these days when you will step into the university, you have come to the stage of choosing a profession that will determine your future in a way. Making the right decision at this stage is really important for you. I would like to give you some information about the maritime profession;
 
Maritime; It is a profession that comes from the depths of history and requires having the qualities of researcher, manager and leadership, as well as having the ability to make decisions in the face of difficulties. People who choose this profession should love traveling and be able to adapt to different cultures. Working conditions on vessels can be heavy and tiring. Being an elite and respected profession, Ship Masters can earn high salaries in terms of income and there is almost never any difficulties in getting a job. Graduated officers are able to work on board Turkish and Flag of Convience vessels at the time of completion of their studies.
