Ulf Schriever

After an education in Germany which focused on classical languages and a humanistic philosophy I spent 25 years at sea in positions ranging from galley boy to master. I left the sea in early 1996 and have been lecturing at the AMC since then, mainly in the subject of navigation.

During the time teaching at this institution I studied at the faculty of education at the University of Tasmania and acquired a PhD in that discipline in 2009.

I try to spend time on board as relieving deck officer every year to keep in touch with the maritime industry and work as a compass adjuster when called upon.
