Whether nautical, technical, or electrical engineer: Studying with AIDA opens excellent career opportunities to advanced high school graduates. With tailored practical training and maritime studies, we get you fit for your dream job. In partnership with the University of Wismar, we offer an innovative educational concept for three study programs with the Department of Maritime Studies in Warnemünde: Bachelor of Science in Nautical Science/Transport Operations, Marine Electrical Engineering, and Ship Operation Engineering.

To prepare junior officers optimally for their deployment on board, we complement the traditional bachelor’s program at the Department of Maritime Studies in Warnemünde with three additional components: integrated nautical officer cadet training with intensive practical units on board our ships and additional training courses at our AIDA Academy. All students receive a scholarship.

Students complete their first year on board the AIDA fleet as nautical officer assistants. The practical unit starts with two weeks of basic safety training and basic maritime training on board a sail training ship. The students then complete a three-year course of study in partnership with the University of Wismar. The training program is completed after a total of four years with the certification Nautical Watch Officer and Bachelor of Science in Nautical Science / Transport Operations.

With this program, AIDA supports graduates with a nautical and technical focus. During their last semester of study, these students receive mentoring and support on their way to starting their careers as operational, electrical, or nautical officers on board the AIDA fleet. We additionally support the scholarship holders in their professional and personal development and offer a merit-based scholarship of up to EUR 500 per month.

The Cruise Engineers program includes a six-month internship on board the AIDA fleet as well as a two-week maritime training program on the sail training ship “Großherzogin Elisabeth.”

This academic program in Rostock additionally provides targeted development of cruise-specific management skills. Another advantage: individual mentoring and support of the graduates.
