- Abstract
Maritime is an essential profession for both Turkey and the world. 80-90% of the world trade volume is carried out by the ships and as might be expected seafarers. The most important part of the maritime profession is undoubtedly education. It is known that education at international standards in the field of maritime is provided by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the flag state carries out the inspections. In order to receive an undergraduate and an associate degree in the field of maritime in Turkey, it is necessary to take the YKS exam, choose the relevant department of the university, and get enough scores to be placed in this department. The study aims to understand better the education and career paths chosen by maritime transportation management engineering students. In the study, the preference tendencies of the students who prefer this department in the universities that provide education in the maritime transport management engineering department and the professions that the students prefer outside the department were examined. As a result of the evaluations, the most popular preferences among the students who placed maritime transportation management engineering were computer engineering, ship machinery management engineering, electrical-electronic engineering, and nursing departments. The increase in the score in the YKS exam has had a significant and negative effect on the rate of students choosing maritime transportation management engineering. The data in this study were obtained from the YÖK Atlas database.
