Overview:

Overview The history of our faculty dates back to the 'Merchant Navy Boarding School' (Leyli Tüccar Kaptan Mektebi), which was established in 5 December 1884 at Heybeliada-Istanbul as a part of the Ottoman-Turkish Naval Academy with the aim of strengthening civilian navigation/seamanship in the country. During the Republican era, it's named as the 'High Navigation School' and continued its activities in the following decades. Finally, in 1992, it is re-established as a 'Maritime Faculty' and tied to the Istanbul Technical University. Our faculty is composed of an English preparatory school and an undergraduate school (BSc-4 Years). Within our undergraduate school we have four academic departments. Currently, the two of those departments are only offering service courses to our two other active departments. The departments in our Faculty are namely; Sea Transportation and Management Engineering Department, Marine Engineering Department, Sea Transportation and Management Department (offering service courses), Basic Sciences Department (offering service courses). Within ITU-Institute of Science and Technology we are offering taught MSc Programmes (started in 1992) and research oriented PhD Programmes (started in 2003). By means of these post-graduate programmes, we supervised several MSc theses and PhD dissertations, and started the education of maritime academicians in the country. Within ITU's international joint academic degree programmes framework, our faculty also has a joint undergraduate degree programme with the State University of New York's (SUNY) Maritime Faculty. Within this programme the students follow courses in New York for one and a half years and the remaining education is concluded in Istanbul.
