Antwerp Maritime Academy

The Antwerp Maritime Academy is the only Vocational university in Belgium allowed to teach in both Vernaculars, being Dutch and French.

The Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Nautical Sciences are multidimensional: technical subjects combined with languages, economics, (maritime) medicine and (international) law.

Starting from 1907, each class of first year students in Nautical Sciences is named after a distinguished maritime personality.

These changes created the need for a bigger school and a new building in the Van de Velde-style was inaugurated in 1932.

During World War II, the German army occupied the building and courses were given at the seamens' house.
