The University admits only mature students who are already established in a career in the maritime field. The Admissions Board will consider only those applicants who meet the minimum general entrance requirements, which are:

• a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent university qualification

or

• the highest grade certificate of competency for unrestricted service as master mariner or chief
  engineer, or equivalent maritime qualifications

and

• substantial, directly relevant professional experience
• competence in English language, demonstrated by an internationally recognised standard test
• computer competence (at least the ability to use Microsoft Office)

Good IT skills are essential, as students are required to use computers from the beginning of the first semester to write their examination answers, complete assignments and carry out research and other projects. Applicants who lack computer and keyboard skills cannot be accepted. From the group of applicants who meet these general entrance requirements, the Admissions Board will select only the best-qualified candidates, taking into account all their qualifications and achievements.
