Gdynia Maritime University – Marine Engineering
Gdynia, PolandPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Good core mechanical overlap (thermo, fluids, strength, machine elements, ICE, control), but marine-flavoured and with small 1-4 ECTS courses; many partial matches only
English-taught programme: Faculty of Marine Engineering (UMG) publishes an Erasmus list of English courses in two semesters: Semester I (Winter, 23+ courses) and Semester II (Summer, 17 courses), 1-4 ECTS each. Strong in machine elements/CAD, manufacturing, materials, thermodynamics, ICE, marine auxiliary machinery, refrigeration, control/PLC; no maths or physics offered. Course list dated by the faculty coordinator (J. Molenda); summer semester mapped to Spring.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Mechanical Engineering students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Mechanical Engineering study guide.
