Agreements with Maritime Universities
At Navalis Magna Institute (NMI), academic excellence and international projection are fundamental pillars of our educational philosophy. As an institution focused on comprehensive maritime education, we have developed a global network of agreements with internationally prestigious maritime universities to ensure that our students and faculty have access to world-class experiences, knowledge, and practices, strengthening their professional training and competitiveness in the global job market.
History and Context of the Agreements
Since its foundation in 2025, NMI has prioritised the internationalisation of its academic programmes. Recognising that the maritime and naval industry is inherently global, a strategy was designed to establish partnerships with leading universities in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania. These collaborations aim not only to enhance the academic quality of our programmes but also to foster applied research, technological innovation, and student and faculty mobility.
Among the first agreements are institutions in Europe with over 100 years of tradition in naval engineering, navigation, and port logistics, as well as specialised academies in maritime safety and maritime transport management in Latin America and Asia. Each agreement is signed with the aim of establishing mutual benefits, ensuring that both NMI and the partner universities share knowledge, academic resources, and professional development opportunities.
Areas of Collaboration
Agreements with maritime universities include multiple areas of collaboration, including:
NMI students can participate in semester or annual exchange programmes, taking specialised courses at partner institutions.
Faculty members have the opportunity to teach or engage in collaborative research projects at foreign universities, sharing innovative pedagogical methodologies.
These exchanges foster multicultural experience and adaptation to global professional environments, which are essential in the international maritime sector.
NMI’s study programmes are aligned with international maritime education standards. This allows the credits earned by students during their exchanges to be automatically validated, facilitating the attainment of globally recognised degrees and certifications.
Students can design personalised academic pathways that include courses at various partner universities, maximising their interdisciplinary and professional training.
The partner universities collaborate on research projects in key areas such as naval engineering, maritime sustainability, renewable energy in vessels, advanced port management, maritime security, and smart technologies for navigation.
NMI and its partners publish joint articles in international scientific journals, fostering knowledge transfer and technological innovation in the global maritime industry.
Students and associated professionals can access refresher courses, specialised workshops, and seminars led by international experts.
This includes professional certifications in areas such as vessel operation, naval electrical and mechanical systems, port logistics management, and maritime security, ensuring that NMI’s training is relevant and directly applicable to the workforce.
NMI facilitates the participation of its students and faculty in international maritime conferences, congresses, and competitions, strengthening the global network of contacts.
These experiences allow students to interact with industry leaders, present innovative projects, and establish strategic connections for their professional future.
Some agreements include the possibility of obtaining double degrees, combining NMI’s training with that of international universities, enhancing the employability and global recognition of our graduates.
Joint programmes are designed with international standards and promote mastery of technical skills, project management, and leadership in complex maritime environments
