Cyprus Maritime Academy

The Cyprus Maritime Academy is the first of its kind in Cyprus and was founded in the academic year 2015-2016. The first cadets accepted into the Academy started their studies in the academic year 2016-2017 with great success. The Academy’s aim is to develop and offer Competencies to the three main areas of the Marine Industry that are Nautical Science (Officer in Charge of Navigational Watch), Marine Engineering (Officer in Charge of Engineering Watch), and Marine Electro-technology (Electro-technical Officer). The initiative to establish CyMA marks an important milestone for our island, and long anticipated from both academic and professional circles within the Marine and Maritime Industry in Cyprus; thus, aims at putting an end to the lack of technical Maritime education and training in Cyprus.
