Reviews
“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.”
“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.”
“I chose Maritime Business Management because Piri Reis sits right on the sea in Tuzla, on Istanbul's Anatolian side, you watch ships pass while studying chartering contracts. Guest lecturers come straight from Turkish shipping firms.”
