The Gdynia Maritime University (Polish: Uniwersytet Morski w Gdyni) is one of two colleges in Poland which specialises in educating highly qualified officers for the maritime industry, especially for the merchant navy.
The university was established in 1920 as the Maritime School in Tczew with faculties of navigation and mechanics. In 1930, the school was moved to Gdynia, to a newly built complex of buildings at ul. Morska, and its name was changed to the State Maritime School. During the war, the school operated in England, Southampton and London.
In 1921 the flag was raised on the first STS Lwów school vessel. In 1930, STS Lwów was replaced with STS Dar Pomorza. It was later replaced by STS Dar Młodzieży.
In 2001, the university received the status of an academy and the name of Gdynia Maritime Academy.
Until 2009, students were undergoing compulsory, 4-semesters (previously, 6 semesters) military training, taking the military oath and receiving lower military ranks and bearing the title of cadet. The military training ended with an officer's exam, confirmed by a certificate. Currently, the Military School has been withdrawn from the curriculum.
Based on the regulation of the Minister of Maritime Economy and Inland Navigation of July 2, 2018, Gdynia Maritime Academy adopted the University name.
