The Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (AIMS) is a private, non-stock, non-profit higher education institution in Pasay City, along Roxas Boulevard corner Antonio S. Arnaiz Avenue. It was incorporated on August 13, 1993 and welcomed its first students on August 16, 1993, founded by Captain Wilijado P. Abuid together with a group of maritime professionals to address the shortage of maritime education institutions in Metro Manila. AIMS is organized into five schools: the School of Merchant Marine, School of Maritime Business, School of Engineering and Architecture, School of Heritage Education, and School of Graduate Studies. It offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Marine Transportation and Marine Engineering, plus programs in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Customs Administration, Business Administration, Computer Science, and Hospitality Management, along with master's and doctoral programs in Maritime Administration. Several of its programs carry accreditation from the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA), and the institute is recognized by the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and the Philippine Coast Guard for maritime training. AIMS is college-level only; it does not operate a Senior High School program. Facilities include the AIMS Museo Maritimo and campus library and media centers.

Aspiring BSMAR-E Students, I don’t recommend this school for anyone planning to take BS Marine Engineering (BSMARE). Most major subjects are not properly taught some professors simply tell students to “just research it” or watch YouTube instead of giving proper lessons or support. On the other hand, minor subjects are full of activities that are not even essential to our course. They often feel like a waste of time and only add to the workload without contributing to our learning as future marine engineers. It feels like this school focuses more on minor subjects than on the major ones. Some professors even show up only when midterms are near, leaving students without proper guidance for most of the semester. Money seems to be the only matters to them. Some professors are not good—they're always absent, and the activities are always online. The application used for the activities is Microsoft Teams, but it's not reliable. Sometimes I can’t log in, and when I try to turn in my activities, the app bugs or crashes, and my work doesn’t get submitted. When I explained this, the head of ITDO said it’s not a valid reason and told me I still needed to pay for all of my activities.
My younger brother wanted to go back to school - he had to stop and take a break for almost two years due to our family's financial hardships. When applying for enrolment this Monday, February 2, the University registrar had advised my brother that "not to be descriminatory" (though it screams discrimination from all sides lol), he might not be able to board a ship after graduation and training as he will already be almost 26 years old come that point. The school's registrar then asked that my brother submit an affidavit stating that he has a "backer" that will be able to guarantee his employment in the future and that he will not hold the school liable if ever he does not get to be a seafarer. Posting this here for the utmost absurdity of it and as we are absolutely finding this beyond exhasperating. FFS! OUR FAMILY JUST WANTED MY BROTHER TO FINISH SCHOOL AND GET A DEGREE!
The school were one of a kind. In terms of trainings and standards I could really say that their products have the KUP's of the Maritime Industry .
False advertisement about their discount. My brother enrolled today as a transferee, and he has all the requirements needed but when they went there, wala naman daw discount. Other parents/guardians complained about the same thing. So disappointing since my uncle graduated from this school.
