Tiivistelmä
The maritime education in Turku is well respected, but as any other education, it has its challenges.
The aim of this thesis is to develop the maritime education in Novia University of Applied Sciences to meet the students’ needs better. The solutions for developing the education were established by tracking down the main challenges and problems and finding out ways to overcome them.
To find out the ideas and challenges, the students were interviewed by using a questionnaire with peer to peer method. The teachers were also interviewed to confirm some facts and to get a better understanding of the systems and possibilities.
A couple of major challenges were found. The ones that can be overcome easily, were mostly about information and courses, and a couple of suggestions were made. The solutions were presented to some teachers to see if they were realistic and to find out if there were any problems with the ideas. The suggestions will be presented to all the teachers and school personnel later and hopefully implemented by Aboa Mare for the benefit of Novia maritime education.
