Bologna process is a European reform process which aims to create European
Higher Education Area by 2010. In this period, the education institutions are expected to
develop programs considering determined knowledge, skill and abilities for the graduates.
The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, skills and abilities required for the
graduates which will be graduated from Dokuz Eylül University Maritime Faculty through
Bologna principles. Within this framework, 20 ship management companies, called as
external stakeholders, were asked to give feedbacks for the graduates who have worked in
their companies. Also these companies were asked about the expectation and suggestions
for the knowledge, skills and abilities of the students. Besides they were asked regarding
the advice they could give for the Faculty. In this research, structured interview questions
have been used. In consideration of the obtained data, it is aimed to determine studies and
programs required within Bologna process period by revealing negative and positive
aspects, overcoming the deficiencies and improving the abilities.
