Student stories

What students say

“The full-mission bridge simulator at Piri Reis University is the same model used for professional officer training, and we log hours on it from second year. My sea internship was arranged through the university's shipping company partners.”

Tanvir AhmedMaritime Transportation Management Engineering · Bangladesh

“In Mechatronics we spend real time in the workshop, I built and tuned a PLC-controlled conveyor system for my second-year project. The scholarship discount I received made the tuition manageable for my family back in Ashgabat.”
