World Class Aviation and Maritime Education
In the 25th anniversary year, Girne American University continues to make new advancements to provide world class education with the Faculties of Maritime and Aviation. According to the statement made by GAU, it is very important to have practical experience besides the theoretical information and GAU provides both of them to the Aviation and Maritime Faculty students.
Required arrangements were made to do test flights on the island and new projects about making flights to the Canterbury Campus, on the agenda of the university. It was also emphasized that GAU students who graduated from the other undergraduate programmes have a chance to take pilot training for 18 months.
GAU’s Vice President Olgun Üstün, Rector Prof. Dr. Yıldırım Öner, the Rector of Piri Reis University, Prof Dr. Osman Kamil Sağ and the Vice Rector Prof Dr. Mahmut Calal Barla signed an academic cooperation agreement for the 2009-2010 academic year. As part of the agreement; teacher transfers, support and development programmes and an international maritime organisation IMO STCW will be set up. GAU’s cooperation with one of the most important universities in Turkey for maritime education is a great opportunity for students to get the best education. GAU also emphasized that the Turkish undersecretary for Maritime Affairs supports the project.
