Bachelor Degree (Pass)

Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours)

Offered in collaboration with the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania in Launceston, Tasmania, this specialist engineering course will guide you towards a thriving career in the maritime industry. Through this course the students focus on one of the three maritime industry specializations: Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine and Offshore Engineering. Marine and Offshore engineers are involved with the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of systems associated with the marine and offshore oil and gas industries. Naval architects are professional engineers who design and oversee the construction and repair of marine craft and various offshore structures. Ocean engineers are involved in the design of offshore structures such as oil and gas platforms or subsea pipelines, as well as the wide range of infrastructure associated with the ports and harbour facilities and submersible vehicles required to service them.
