26 The main reason for new education needs: Growing demand for knowledge helping Shipbuilding & Offshore Industry to compete in global business and continuum technological, economical as well as commercial market changes 26

27 Gdansk University of Technology is certified University good University which gives Good Jobs. It is one of 20 distinguished universities. Academic Information Centre appreciates in this way universities are able to create a professional perspective to its students and graduates. The certificate is valid for the academic year 2014/15. Highlighted the high schools were assessed in the light of action university careers offices, national and international internship programs, cooperation between universities and employers of the region to adapt the curriculum to the needs of the labor market. Full list of distinguished schools is available here. 27

28 Internal and external reasons for teaching in English 1. Internal pressures Polish students to expand the curriculum in English 2. The growing quantity of foreign students in training / practice within the ERASMUS program 3. Decreasing number of marine departments at European universities 4. The increasing difference between the demand for engineers Shipbuilders in European countries and the possibilities of their meet by the home universities - an opportunity for our faculty 28

29 Conclusion Study programmes and teaching in English language: is a necessity and is not a modern trend 29
