The Gdańsk region, home to numerous shipbuilding and maritime-related companies, provides graduates with excellent employment prospects. The programme allows students to connect with future engineers and managers in the maritime sector, fostering a strong professional network.

Career Path
I began my professional journey at Gdańsk Shiprepair Yard, undertaking an internship in the Production Preparation Department. In the following years, I worked as a designer in various design offices, both within and outside the shipyard. Later, I established my own business, which led to a collaboration with Conoship International, based in Groningen, the Netherlands. This partnership resulted in the establishment of the Polish branch, now operating as Conoship International Poland sp. z o.o.
Career after FMEST: Marcin Chodkiewicz [GRADUATE PROFILE]
Marcin Chodkiewicz graduated in Transport from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology at Gdańsk University of Technology, specialising in Waterborne Transport Means.

What opportunities do you believe studies at WIMiO provide?
Studying is a tool, and I believe it should be treated as such. A tool itself is of little use unless we know how to utilise it effectively. Therefore, everything depends on one's individual approach.
What did you learn during your studies?
Soft skills are just as important as technical skills. Relationships with fellow students and lecturers can open more doors than an engineering degree alone.
