Türkiye, forming a bridge between Europe and Asia, has special maritime interests due to its important geopolitical position in the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Eastern Mediterranean. Within the scope of our country’s maritime interests and needs, the School was established as the first higher education unit in Turkey providing education in maritime business and management, affiliated with Dokuz Eylül University Rectorate, with the approval of the Higher Education Council dated 14.01.1988.
