Novia Alumni Stories

"The shipping industry is an international industry with English as its main language. To be professionally educated with strong skills in English is an advantage in the competition for seagoing jobs."

"Studying at Novia has definitely given extra value and new tools for my career. Leaving your own comfort zone and challenging yourself is very rewarding."

"I have two degrees from Novia UAS: Bachelor of Maritime Management (Sea Captain); and Master of Engineering in Autonomous Maritime Operations. The first degree was a sort of induction to the maritime world, and the latter degree focused more on a specific aspect of the maritime field, providing a deeper dive into the trends of future autonomous maritime ecosystems. "

"The studies gave me a good base for service design. What I loved the most was our group and the connections I got through this process."

"My studies in Service Design gave me the tools to research and identify inadequate parts in services and methods to further develop them."

"During my studies, my language skills improved enormously, along with my professional competences — which was, after all, one of the main reasons I chose Novia in the first place.”
