HOGERE ZEEVAARTSCHOOL – ECOLE SUPERIEURE DE NAVIGATION

Courses are at the Academy are taught in Dutch and in French.
There are two departments: Nautical Sciences and Marine Engineering

Education at the Academy aims at two careers: one at sea as a merchant marine officer, becoming a Captain (Master) or a Chief Engineer; the other is an on-shore career in a nautical-economic or nautical-technical function.

In the Nautical Sciences department, deck officers are trained. 
Deck officers are responsible for the navigation of the ship, the voyage itinerary, maritime communication, cargo handling, etc.
This training prepares the student for a career at sea which can lead ultimately to the level of Captain (Master).
In the Marine Engineering department, engineering officers are trained. 
The marine engineer is responsible for the preventive maintenance and repair of all thermal, electric, pneumatic and hydraulic installations aboard the ship, as well as for safety equipment.
This training prepares the student for a career at sea which can lead ultimately to the level of Chief Engineer. 
Training and studies in Nautical Sciences lead to:
•	Bachelor’s Degree in Nautical Sciences (obtained after a period of three years) 
•	Master’s Degree in Nautical Sciences (obtained after an additional period of one year) 
Training and studies in Marine Engineering lead to:
•	Bachelor's Degree in Marine Engineering (obtained after a period of three years) 
Degrees and certificates issued by the Antwerp Maritime Academy are fully compliant with STCW-standards (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). 
The Academy is housed in a magnificent building, situated north of the Royers Lock within the Port of Antwerp. The building, which dates from the period between the First and Second World Wars, is listed. The architects succeeded in harmoniously combining functionality and aesthetics. Over the years necessary renovations have been carried out without altering the unique character of the building. 
Inside, however, the Academy is fully equipped with state-of-the-art didactic equipment.
Training highly qualified personnel for the maritime industry requires a specific teaching format, specialised instructional methods and specially adapted equipment. 
The Antwerp Maritime Academy is proud of its well-equipped laboratories and workshops as well as its modern simulators for ship navigation (and radar), cargo handling, propulsion and telecommunications.
