6. Outline of your institution:

(Please be sure to enclose Prospectus/Academic Catalogue with this application.)

(A) General Information including summary of historical background:

1. King Abdul Aziz University (KAAU) carries the name of the founder of Saudi Arabia (Allah bless him). This university was established in 1387 H / 1967 G as a national university with the aim to impart quality higher education in the western area of Saudi Arabia. The members of the initiating committee pursued the case in front of King Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz (Allah bless him). His Majesty showed all his support for this idea. The establishing committee was formed headed by King Faisal (Allah bless him) and his highness the Minister of Education at that time Sheikh Hassan Bin Abdullah Al - Sheikh.

2. The university started its first year in (1388 H- 1968 G) by inaugurating the preparation study program with a fewer number of students (68 male and 30 female students). After the first year, the university inaugurated its first college (the College of Economics and Management). Then in the following year, the college of Arts and Human Sciences was established.

3. After the issue of honored resolution of the Council of Ministers in (1394H – 1974G) the university status was changed from national to the government university. In another decision,

PC NC/02-2014 P.9/72

mailto:[email protected]


the College of Shareah was evolved. The College of Higher Education which was already established in 1369H/1949G in Makkah in King Abdulaziz University was also included followed by Umm AL-Qora University.

4. After adoption by the government, and with the continuous support, this newborn university emerged as one of the modern universities of the world by increasing the number of students to 82152 male and female. The university also occupies a distinguished place amongst the higher education institutions in the Kingdom as well as in the world.

5. King Abdul Aziz University includes two separate campuses one for males and another for females. Each of these campuses is provided with all educational, research, cultural, recreational and athletic facilities, in addition to a big library equipped with the most up to date technology to serve students and the teaching staff. The recent development of E – library connected to the world renowned university libraries has opened another venue to the world of knowledge and wisdom. Within four decades, the university has become one of the outstanding higher education institutions at local as well as international level. This university offers educational programs designed in such a way to prepare the graduates to meet the modern global challenges.

6. With the passage of time, the university established its branches/campuses including Taiba University in Al-Madina Al-Monawarah which became an independent university in (1424h – 2003 G), the branch of Tabouk University and Jazan University which were also became independent universities, The North Borders University and Araar and Rafha colleges.

7. The university has been development in quality as well as quantity since its inception. It has become one of the distinguished universities in terms of number of students, scientific and theoretical researches, field study and the exclusiveness of certain specializations such as Seas Sciences, Maritime Studies, Geology, Nuclear Engineering, Medical Engineering, Meteorology and Aviation and Mineralization. King Abdulaziz University is considered a pioneer in offering higher education to the Saudi girls also. University students are bringing very good name to the university during their higher studies abroad. Recently one of the students studying in the USA has invented new breast cancer germs which may help to cure this lethal disease.

8. The University not only conducts the regular student programs but it also has the external programs to make it easy for all students to get higher education. It has also established the Deanship of Distant Teaching to cope up with the development in learning and teaching technology.

9. The Minister of Higher Education presides over the University Council which includes in its membership HE the Director of the university, The Deputies of the university, the deans of colleges and the independent deanships

10. Main features are:

• The university started its first year in (1388 H- 1968 G) by inaugurating the

preparation study program with a fewer number of students (68 male and 30 female students).

• After adoption by the government, and with the continuous support, this newborn university emerged as one of the modern universities of the world by increasing the number of students to about 160,000 male and female.

PC NC/02-2014 P.10/72

• The university also occupies a distinguished place amongst the higher education institutions in the Kingdom as well as in the world and ranked 201-300Shanghai ranking, Times Asia 49, and QS under 50 is at number 43 in the world top universities. It secured 22nd place in mathematics, 51-75 in chemistry amongst the world renowned universities. It stood 101 – 150 in engineering, technology and computer science and 151 -200 in natural science.

• KAU e – library has been connected to the world data base to access about three million books and scientific journals from all over the world. The interactive e-book is the first of its kind among Saudi universities.

• KAU consists of about 36 faculties, institutes and colleges and 26 research centers encompassing all spheres of life. Other facilities like modern and state of the art hospital. It also provides excellent sports facilities to including swimming pool and horse riding. KAU has been distinguished in many sports event at national level during the recent years.

• There are about 22 scientific chairs ranging from arts, science, medicine and research work.

• KAU offers five PhD programs, eleven masters programs, in addition to executive

master of business administration, masters of professional accounting and each faculty conducts hundreds of under graduate and graduate programs including diplomas.

• KAU has concluded more than 60 mutual cooperation agreements with world top ranking universities and institutes around the globe to enhance the quality of education (List of universities is available on the university web.)

KAU students were awarded “awards for scholars studying abroad”. This includes “top graduate” award from the scientific Council of the international Nobel Prize. Other includes” Best Scientific Research” award from the British Council, “Best Scientific Research” award from Georgetown University and “Top Medical Trainee” Award from the Faculty of Medicine in McGill University. In collaboration with the Japan’s Tokai University, a solar powered unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been flight tested

The Faculty of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies

1. Marine Sciences is one of the most important applied sciences in modern times and is primarily concerned with study of oceans and seas, which occupy about 71% of our planet. One

PC NC/02-2014 P.11/72

cannot ignore such a high percentage of the area of our globe without examining it and revealing its secrets and exploitation of its resources. The mineral sources needs to be explored to meet the requirements of the world's fast growing population. The world is considering the sea as a large source of minerals and energy. The University of King Abdul Aziz took a positive step to establish a section of Marine Science affiliated to the Faculty of Science and the study 1976 (1395 H). 2 Initially this department was conducting study programs in the disciplines of Marine Biology , Marine Physics, Marine Chemistry, and Marine Geology, in order to carry out their scientific education and research, and then the name of the Marine Science Institute was changed to the Faculty of Marine Sciences according to the decision of the Supreme Council of the University on 18/4/1401 AH (corresponding to 2/22/1981).

3. The present era is of progress, prosperity and development. The world has become a global village and trade has increased immensely. The shipping industry transporting more than 95% of the cargo around the world has become the key to the global trade. To keep cargo moving intact, in time with safer and cleaner oceans, we require skilled human resources. To ensure this safer, secure, efficient and environment friendly shipping, a regulatory framework provided by the International Maritime Organization needs implementation and enforcing at the international level. This has become a very complex and highly specialized task and requires special people with highest possible level of relevant expertise and deep knowledge and skills. This can only be achieved through comprehensive education. Faculty of Maritime Studies, operating under the auspices of King Abdul Aziz University has become a very important and special maritime training and education instrument in the gulf region.

4. This is pertinent to mention here that though Saudi Arabia has a big shipping industry, excellent ports and container terminals infrastructure but unfortunately seafaring profession had been diminished with the passage of time. Young generation always preferred shore jobs instead opting for tough sea life. This was a big challenge to motivate people to seafaring profession. Presently Saudi Arabia owns a huge commercial fleet, but only 8% of Saudis are working as nautical officers and 12% as marine engineers. Moreover, according to the latest statistics by the Ministry of Transportation (M.O.T); there are around 35000 vacancies and opportunities in the maritime field and only about 19% are filled, considering it as a major shortage due to the lack of maritime universities in the country. This was an up hilled task but, due to unconditional support and backing of the president of the university HE Prof. Osama Sadik Tayeb, and the vice president of the university Dr. Adnan Abdullah Suleiman Almazrooa, Dr. Salim Marzooq Al Harbi, the present dean single handedly accepted this challenge to raise the faculty of maritime studies from scratch. By the grace of Allah almighty and hard work, enthusiasm and dedication of the dean has brought this faculty to the level of international standards of training. This is point to ponder that this was not only to raise a faculty but to motivate Saudi youth towards the seafaring profession and other stakeholders to accept them as professional seafarers. The Faculty of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies started with the following disciplines:

• Marine Biology Department

• Marine Chemistry Department

• Marine Geology Department

• Marine Physics Department

vocational colleges in 12 coastal counties. Seafarers receive their training through upper

secondary programmes focused on technical trades and industrial production, vocational

colleges and higher education institutions, and on-board trainee and cadet positions. The

training ships M/S Sjøkurs and M/S Gann, operated by the private upper secondary

schools Sørlandets maritime videregående skole and Rogaland videregående

sjøaspirantskole, offer at-sea teaching. The Norwegian Navy’s other schools also educate

personnel requiring certification and other crew in maritime subjects, and have

historically been a net supplier of expertise to the maritime industry. There are also

various safety centres, both private and under public schools, that run courses and provide

training and advisory services. In total, more than 60 different institutions are active in

this field.

2. Outline of the National Policy:

a) Past:

In Norway, there has been a conscious effort on education to increase people's skills in

order to develop the welfare state, reorganize and renew the workforce and not least in its

efforts to get more people today are unemployed, working. Education has also been used

as an instrument to even out class and gender differences. The perception has been that a

well-educated population is the most important resource a society can have to ensure that

PC NC/02-2014 P.40/72

residents quality of life and prevent class distinctions. Lifelong learning was through

education reforms in the 1990s a new content focus and became an important principle in

Norwegian education policy. Recognizing that learning is acquired at different venues and

in different contexts throughout life, the lifelong learning perspective has given an

extended learning aspect with greater freedom for the individual and the opportunities to

realize their own needs. In this context, competence is a key term that encompasses all the

skills a person possesses.

Competence Reform of 1997

In the Buer Commission's report NOU 1997it is emphasized that 25 new skills laid the

foundation for the Competence Reform. The setting mentioned study associations and

their possible role and emphasized that they could help establish local and flexible

learning environments and a humanistic adult education by ensuring the best in the

Nordic tradition of public education, as well as recruitment and motivation for training of

adults with small initial education. The Committee pointed out further that education

associations should

1. Be an independent alternative, supplement or active partner to public and private

educational institutions at all levels

2. Develop the forms of cooperation already established, to develop tailor-made

courses for businesses

3. In collaboration with member organizations still operate competence specially

designed for their members

The Competence Reform was designed in cooperation between the social partners,

education stakeholders and the Ministry of Education and Research (KD). Reform is both

an educational and labour market reform. The parallel Work Competence Reform sought

to conjunct with new reforms for basic education and higher education and thus have

clear interfaces with labor market policy.

Based on the Buer Commission's report was Report. No. 42 (1997 to -98) Competence

Reform presented to Parliament and approved. On this basis, the action plan for the

Competence Reform designed with eight main objectives that safeguard the full range of

adult learning:

- Flexible Learning Methods

- The individual parameters

- Competency Development Programme (KUP)

- Validation of prior learning

- Public education and democratic participation

- Second chance - primary and secondary education

- Structural reorganization of the public education system

- Motivation and information measures

PC NC/02-2014 P.41/72

The priorities were developed based on the following factors:

1. All adults should have better opportunities for developing their skills and lifelong

learning regardless of previous education, age, sex, and ethnic background.

2. The Norwegian labour market will have the skills supply that is necessary for value

creation and services - both in the private and public sectors.

3. The reform should include everyone - both in the workforce and those who for

various reasons are excluded.

4. The reform will build a broad understanding of knowledge where different types of

skills work together, and where appreciation of various forms of learning

strengthened.

There should be a flexible arrangement of skills development including the use of ICT.

The Competence Reform gave adult learners the right to primary and secondary education.

Primary Court (Education Act § 4A-1) was introduced on 1 August 2002 and granted on

demand. Also for the labor market was prepared documentation tool for certain industries,

competency certificate, later developed as a national tool. In order to achieve legitimacy in

both the workplace and the education, KD stressed that the parties involved must have

shared ownership and responsibility for the schemes. Individual rights for assessment of

prior learning is regulated in the Education Act (from 2000) and in the higher education

law (from 2005). Competency Development Programme (KUP) was created to enhance

skills in the workplace. The program intended to help both public and private sectors to be

more able to:

1. identify, express and fulfil their need for competence and skills.

2. develop venues for collaboration between stakeholders on labour and education

3. develop continuing education programs adapted to the social needs.

Quality Commission's report and department internal working

The Quality Committee (NOU 2003: 16 Improved quality in basic education for all)

referred to the Competence Reform and actors' roles as follows:

"Through the reform, it has become evident that adult education stands on three pillars:

Learning in the workplace, formal learning in mainstream educational and learning

through adult education activity, remote studies and organizational work. The challenge is

to bring these learning arenas closer together, so adults can get a more relevant offers

based on their own skills needs and based on their own skills and their own learning style.

Work on the assessment and recognition of individuals' prior learning has been regarded

as the glue of the reform. By facilitating a training program based on the individual's

competence training will both be able to be more efficient in terms of time spent and will

be able to work a flexible approach to work and life situation. There have been relatively

invisible until now how suitable the more informal learning arenas is to develop skills. "

PC NC/02-2014 P.42/72

4

From the summary in NOU 2003: 16, Chapter 16:

"The traditional players in the adult education field, such as adult education and distance

learning institutions are seldom been involved in the realization of rights. The special

expertise of these environments have in facilitating training on adult terms, including adult

education law principles of user interaction, thus largely been absent in this priority area.

Historically, these are the communities that have given adults the opportunity to take

advanced training in adulthood, a field in which the public has been very prominent. Some

places give counties associations and independent distance education institutions tasked

to provide advanced training. These education providers also sets up training on their own

initiative and must be in the normal way require contributions. Some adults make use of

such services and pay for training rather than waiting for the counties to give them the free

training they have legal right on. "

The Quality Committee have proposed including the introduction of an earmarked, unit

price based funding of basic education for adults to get a good overview, and to ensure that

real needs are met. In 2003 KD appointed an internal working group to assess student

unions and the independent distance education institutions. The project team wrote in

their report (UFD Report 2003) that adult education and distance learning institutions

have a well-developed apparatus and expertise to provide adult education, and that they

should continue to have a central role in providing tailored formal and non-formal

education for adults . The framework conditions should be made for this. Grants to study

associations must be designed so that they especially encourage non-formal learning and

continuing traditions related to culture and public education. The group felt that there was

both a need for cleaning and for an overall assessment of the establishing a legal basis

which in the future should apply to associations and independent distance education

institutions.

Maritime Education in Norway has always followed the STCW code and the professional

content of the education has therefore not been affected by the national policy reforms.

The ways of teaching, including more focus on the use of ICT, more internationalization

and the implementation of the national qualification framework (annex 9) has affected the

way the education is delivered, but not the content of the professional qualifications.

b) Present:

At present there are two policy reforms in Higher Education – a change in the organization

of higher education institutions seeking to reduce the number of institutions by mergers

and change in the financing of higher education. Both these reforms are currently being

decided in the Ministry of Education and Research and therefore there is no information to

PC NC/02-2014 P.43/72

5

be given at this point in time. The reports from the expert committees are expected to be

done sometime in 2014/2015.

C) Future:

Education is essential to ensure a knowledge-based employment. The Norwegian

education and research sector must respond to the needs of the labour market and society

has the knowledge and expertise. The workplace is becoming more knowledge intensive

and increased interaction with other countries requires a new kind of knowledge and

expertise. A well-developed university and college sector, free higher education and good

arrangements for educational contribute to good access to higher education in Norway.

An important part of the social role of universities and colleges therefore consists in

facilitating lifelong learning, regardless of age, and living situation. Norway has, like many

other northern European countries, a long tradition of online higher education. In 2013

about 16 500 students came from various forms of flexible education, an increase of 38%

from 2006 1 In 2013 this amounted to about seven percent of students in Norway.

In what ways MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) will change Norwegian higher

education is an open question. Developments in Norway will likely be based on other

factors than has been the case in the United States. Norwegian higher education differs

from many other countries in that it is largely publicly funded and free for students. The

desire from students about lower prices for higher education will not be a driver of cost in

Norway. However, the requirements of the authorities on cost-effectiveness could be

applicable also in Norway. How this will affect maritime higher education is difficult to

foresee.

MOOC provides access to diverse programs of study that are publicly available, including

from internationally renowned universities. Norwegian institutions will face increasing

competition for students from foreign institutions. Meanwhile, Norwegian institutions

offering MOOC could reach out to a larger section of the population in the country.

Competition for students will therefore increase between Norwegian institutions. Easier

access to both Norwegian and international study could therefore have implications for

Norwegian students' preferences in the choice of study. It is believed that increased foreign

competition and increased competition between Norwegian institutions will lead to

improving the quality of Norwegian higher education. Meanwhile, Norwegian institutions

that are internationally recognized, could focus on delivering MOOC to the international

education market. MOOC may in that aspect become an instrument for Norwegian

institutions in international promotion and cooperation.

The use of MOOC should lead to greater collaboration between universities and business.

PC NC/02-2014 P.44/72

6

New technology opens up new opportunities for cooperation, and enhanced cooperation

will contribute to courses that are more relevant to the workplace. It is also believed that

MOOC will help to further develop the Norwegian Knowledge Society, and help to increase

the access to and quality of higher education. To further the development of MOOC,

Norwegian authorities and higher education institutions must utilize the opportunities

arising from MOOC developments. This requires commitment to strategic management

from both the government and the institutions and it requires a will to change and

commitment. If these options are used, MOOC will help to put Norway in a better position

to meet the skills needs of the labor market now and in the future.

d) Implementation of the Bologna process

Norway has been involved in the Bologna process from the beginning and has

implemented the new structures in the Norwegian education system. This occurred mainly

with the Quality Reform, which was introduced in autumn 2003 Norwegian Agency for

Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT) was established in 2002 to ensure quality,

accredit education offered in Norway and approve education abroad.

Simultaneously, the establishment of SIU as an independent body under the Ministry of

Education (KD) in 2004, with program management, capacity building and promotion of

Norway as a study and research as its main tasks, was viewed in the light of the Bologna

process. SIU also participates in the National Bologna-contact group, chaired by the

Ministry of Education and Research, and coordinates the work of a group of so-called

Bologna experts who are working to increase awareness of the Bologna process within the

Norwegian educational institutions.

training are done after graduation from the university college og vocational college.

K. Language:

For the Bachelor of Marine Engineering and the Bachelor of Nautical Sciences all first and

second year courses are taught in Norwegian as we co-teach with the vocational college at

that level. The first two years of the Bachelor of Shipping and Logistics are mainly taught in

Norwegian, however this depends on the number of international students and the

PC NC/02-2014 P.50/72

12

lecturers. The courses in the third year of all bachelor programs are either taught in

Norwegian or English. Most course material is in English on all levels.

The Master of Maritime Management at Buskerud and Vestfold University College is an

international degree and all courses are taught in English

L. Relationship with the national shipping industry and other direct stakeholders

such as labor unions.

Buskerud and Vestfold University College has a close relationship with industrial

stakeholders through different local , regional and national networks. We cooperate within

R&D with several partners, and the industry has guest lectures, provides cases,

participates in student research on all levels, provide placement of candidates and in other

ways are active in the provision of the study programs. In addition to this our lectures

participate in training of the industry’s personnel both in theory and in simulator based

courses.

Industrial stakeholders are also used actively when new study programs are developed or

when the existing programs are being revised.

O. Special mention:

In 2009, a working group appointed by the MARUT strategic council identified several

structural and quality challenges in the Norwegian maritime education sector. By way of

follow-up, and in response to a request by the Ministry of Education and Research, the four

university colleges that offer programmes focused on the maritime profession launched

the MARKOM2020 collaboration project. The project is intended to facilitate shared

long-term development of maritime expertise, improve utilisation of common resources

and coordinated strategies for making future choices in the maritime sector. These

measures will take into account the needs of the maritime sector, the government’s vision

and the ambitions of the government and educational institutions.

MARKOM2020’s priorities are structures and cooperation, division of labour and

concentration, with the aim of developing maritime education and research to a higher and

more specialised level. Maritime profession Masters studies and PhD programmes are

being established to ensure the existence of an effective, quality assured lifelong learning

structure “from seafarer to professor”, in addition to reliable and efficient transfer

mechanisms at all levels and full- and part-time study programmes. This will help Norway

to deliver world-class maritime education. The project is also to provide feedback on how

the authorities should formulate requirements for future naval officer training.

Work has already begun on increasing concentration and division of labour in the

maritime education sector. The four higher education institutions involved have close links

with the industry they serve, and have developed individual specialisations.

Stord/Haugesund University College is specialised in demanding maritime operations,

with a particular emphasis on offshore technology and maritime management. Ålesund

University College is a knowledge and innovation hub in the area of advanced maritime

operations. Buskerud and Vestfold University College specialises in operational maritime

management, while the University of Tromsø specialises in maritime operations in the

High North. The University of Tromsø has also been tasked with developing a research

school for the maritime profession and, in cooperation with the business sector, maritime

profession-focused research institutions in specialist areas. The business sector is making

a valuable contribution by funding professorships at these institutions.

As of 2012, the project encompasses all 14 maritime vocational colleges. The sub-project

MARFAG2020 will allocate funds to targeted quality- and skills-building measures in

vocational colleges, and develop measures to improve the transition from vocational

college to higher maritime professional education. The project is currently gathering

proposals for new development projects from vocational colleges. Much work has been

done on Bachelor programmes during the first two years of the project. Since the launch of

PC NC/02-2014 P.52/72

14

the project, the partners have agreed to develop specialisations and responsibilities, and

are continuing their efforts to implement this agreement in Bachelor programmes.

The formal expertise of academic employees has improved, qualification frameworks have

been introduced, education programmes have become more R&D-based through

specialisation, and quality assurance systems are promoting quality. These education

programmes are special, as they are reviewed by both the Norwegian Maritime Authority

and NOKUT.

R&D has been initiated in these areas to ensure that the specialisations support the future

needs of the maritime industry and that the institutions are able to deliver on the vision

for the project. The government has funded the project since 2011 through grants

provided by the Ministry of Education and Research, and will continue to do so.

(Please be sure to enclose Prospectus/Academic Catalogue with this application.)

(A) General Information including summary of historical background: Volga State Academy of Water Transport (Nizhny Novgorod institute of River Transport Engineers)

was founded in 1930. In 1933 the name was changed into Gorky Institute of Water Transport Engineers. In the early 50s the Gorky Institute took an active part in scientific foundation and implementation of a

progressive navigation method – pushing vessels in the river transport. As a result of the research more than 90% of freighting in non-self-propelled craft was done by pushing method.

In 1961, the training experimental plant was established and in 1962 the student design engineering bureau started its work.

In the 60-70s an important research started to develop and implement new types of river craft-catamarans. The research headed by Prof. Alferyev, allowed the USSR Ministry of Sea and River Fleet to start serial construction of cargo catamarans, as well as build excursion passenger catamarans with seating capacity of 600 and 1000 persons.

By 1980, the Institute became a diversified technical institution of the first category, which was famous for its high-quality training and research development in the field of water transport.

In the late 80s the Russian Federation ratified a number of international environmental protection conventions in ship running. To meet the new requirements in the field the institution launched a new specialty "Engineering protection of the environment."

The country’s economic crisis in the 1990s led to a crisis in research and development at the institute

PC NC/02-2014 P.54/72

as well. But be the end of the 1990s the demand for navigators, engineers began to rise and scientific research was paid a lot of attention again.

In 1993 the Institute got a new name - the Volga State Academy of Water Transport. In 1994 the academy received a training ship of mixed type "Alexander Popov" which became the

basis for ship-board training. In 2005, by the governrnent decree the applied-research educational complex was set up on the basis of

the Academy. It included Nizhny Novgorod River College named after I. P. Kulibin, Astrakhan Perm, Kazan and Samara River Colleges. The creation of the academic complex "VSAWT" allowed implementing three-level training of water transport specialists.

Nowadays Federal State-Financed Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education (FSEI

HPE) "VSAWT" is a major territorial and industrial education complex, which includes the head institution, four branches (providing both secondary professional and higher professional education) in Kazan, Astrakhan, Samara, Perm, Nizhny Novgorod River College named after I. P.Kulibin, a training center, that provides retraining of water transport managers and specialists, a complex of marine simulators, a research center of legal support of inland waterway transport, the Educational and Scientific Production Center "Ship repair."

Volga Academy is a public educational institution of higher education, under the responsibility of the Federal Agency of Maritime and River Transport (Rosmorrechflot) and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and is licensed to conduct educational activities in the field of higher, secondary, vocational and postgraduate education.

It is authorized to issue official standard certificates of education, award Candidate of Technical and Economic Sciences degrees. At present, more than 13,000 people are taught at the educational complex: students, who get their bachelor’s, master’s degrees or diplomas, trainees, and technical specialists who receive a second degree.

The quality of training is primarily determined by the state of the facilities and equipment and the professional level of the teaching staff. The academic complex includes premises with the total area of over 50,500 square meters that comprise lecture rooms, simulators, 34 computer classes, assembly halls, libraries, sports centers, museum fleet, and other academic and administrative offices.

More than five hundred assistants and professors are involved in the educational process. They train specialists for the whole water transport infrastructure, including fleet, ports, ship repair companies, educational institutions, research institutes and other departments of the field. Thus, the current education system of maritime and river transport personnel training has been developed for years.

The high quality education at FSEI HPE"VSAWT" is provided with modern material and technical basis, a wide range of topical scientific research that is done by the Academy professors, their international activities. It can be illustrated by a number of examples.

The attention of leading scientists of the Academy is focused on solving of topical problems in the field of water transport development:

• developing of the transportation organization and the efficiency of transport systems; • dynamic processes modeling, management and optimization of transport systems on the basis of new

informational and communicative technologies; • controllability of ships and navigational safety; • development and maintenance of transport fleet; • economics and management of territorial transport complexes, development of the main energy

saving directions in transport; legal provision of inland waterway transport; • waterways and ports; • logistics, transport technologies and marketing; • fault detection, repair and enhancement of water transport and transport; • bifurcation theory of dynamics as applied in physical systems and transport processes; • ship theory, applied ecology, ship and environment protection facilities. The concept of Russian education modernization emphasizes the importance of professional education

and its technical side. In this regard, the topical line of development is to found educational, research and innovation complexes (ERIC).

The first ERIC "The Mechanic" has been set up and has started its activities. The use of such complexes leads to the merging of educational, industrial and scientific innovation processes and results in the integration of higher education and the real economy sector: shipping companies, shipyards, small businesses. It is particularly important to emphasize that this system ensures the unity of the educational process, research and innovation at all levels of training taking into consideration real needs of the industry.

The Academy structure includes 5 faculties and 26 chairs.
