The Faculty of Nautical Sciences (FNS) welcomes exchange programme incoming students, visiting students and staff members as a gate to interchange insights into different educational systems and cultures and to promote international exchange of academic and research activities.

At present, our main streamline of international mobility programmes is the EU-funded Socrates/Erasmus Exchange Programme, which provides the opportunity for our students to spend an academic period at partner institutions in countries such as Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Latvia, Italy and Poland, with a recognised study plan according to ECTS and STCW requirements. The number of incoming students is increasing per year and participate actively in the cultural and social events programmed by the Faculty throughout the year. At the same time, the Erasmus staff mobility programme receives every year the visit of delegations from the countries aforementioned, including Estonian Maritime Academy.

Another mobility programme, Bancaja, widens the scope of the international projection to Latin-American countries and the USA. Since 2007-2008 there is an agreement with Genesseo State University of New York and, very recently, it has been signed an agreement for study exchanges with the State University of New York Maritime College (SUNYMC) in the USA.

The staff members of the FNS also coordinate and participate in a broad range of transnational pilot projects.

Academic Information and Course Contents

The Faculty of Nautical Sciences offers programmes at undergraduate level, postgraduate level and doctorate level covering the areas of Marine Navigation, Marine Engineering and Marine Radioelectronics. Our degrees are principally designed for students who wish to pursue a career as a deck officer, engineer or radio officer in the Merchant Navy either at sea or in shore-based occupations, such as marine surveyors, port managers, marine underwriting and other sectors of the marine industry.

The duration is 3 years as a minimum corresponding to first cycle degrees. After its completion, students may choose to continue for two years more in order to get a BSc or 2^nd. cycle studies. The courses are integrated with practical training at sea. To gain the experience and qualifications needed, it is compulsory to undertake courses which include Fire-Fighting, GMDSS, First Aid and other skills necessary at sea. These courses which fully comply with STCW requirements are run by the University of Cádiz and by partner organisations.

Main facilities offered by the Faculty are the bridge simulator, the engine-room simulator, and the radionavigation and communications simulator. The Faculty also has three school training ships aboard which the students can follow a practical training. Other facilities for students in the Campus of Puerto Real include the new Sports Centre, a new Library centre awarded with ISO certificates and students’ clubs.

Courses are divided into a two-cycle structure, as follows:

1^st. cycle degrees(Semesters 1-6)
