National Maritime College of Ireland

Learning today…Leading tomorrow

“Learning today….Leading tomorrow”

When we think of students our brain automatically reverts to thinking about young people and the fun they have in college. We never think of them as being the future. At the NMCI we take a personal interest in the education and professional development of our students as they are the leaders of our future.

When a student enrols at NMCI they sign up to a leading maritime college who are focusing on developing their skills and knowledge to an expert level. Companies know that our cadets are focused, have a diverse skill set and expert knowledge.

The National Maritime College boasts a $100 million dollar facility located in Ringaskiddy, in Cork, an area with great connectivity to Europe. With specialist spaces including survival facilities, seamanship and shipwrights’ workshops, fire fighting/damage control, jetty and lifeboat facilities and engine room we have a diverse range of facilities here. We also provide specialised simulation equipment in the areas of navigation, bridge training, communications, engineering –machinery operation, liquid cargo handling/damage control and vessel traffic systems. These facilities fully comply with the most up to date international standards and requirements. Check out the different degree programmes we offer here at the NMCI and the unique qualities of our cadets.
