Informations for prospective students

The Department of Maritime Studies, Systems Engineering and Logistics at Wismar University of Applied Sciences has its own campus in Rostock-Warnemünde. Almost all modules for the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes on offer take place here.
However, the foundation programme of the Marine Electrical Engineering programme is completed at the main campus in Wismar, before students move to Warnemünde from the 5th semester onwards.

The international study programmes, run in cooperation with ITS in Surabaya, Indonesia, take place alternately in Germany and Indonesia.

Some of our Bachelor’s degree programmes comprises two to three different fields of study. 
As a starting point: depending on whether you’d like to go to sea or would prefer to work on land, you can choose between the different profiles.
However, this does not mean that your future career path is already determined. Graduates of the ‘Nautical Science/Maritime Transport’ programme, for example, can also – either straight after graduation or after a few years at sea – find interesting roles in port operations, maritime regulatory authorities, maritime traffic control centres, etc.

If you want to stay on solid ground, you are welcome to choose one of the following fields of studies:

• Transport Operations/Logistics
• Plant engineering and Supply Technology
• Marine Engineering 
• Electrical Engineering for Shipbuilding

Interested in a professional development in maritime shipping? Just choose between these fields of study:

• Nautical Science/Maritime Transport
• Ship's Operation Technology
• Electrical Engineering in Ship's Operation
