The four-year program is accredited by Engineers Australia and is aligned with the needs of industry, opening up a world of possible careers for professionally qualified maritime engineers who can provide innovative and creative solutions within the Australian and international maritime industry. The degree has a strong practical approach using AMC's specialist facilities. Within the first two years of study, compulsory units in the degree cover the fundamental aspects of maritime engineering, after which students specialise in one of the following:

• naval architecture, focusing on the design and construction of everything from submarines and naval ships to luxury yachts, ferries, and cargo vessels.
Across multiple branches of engineering, you can gain expertise in the shipping, high-speed, offshore, defence, underwater and recreational industries.
• ocean engineering, focusing on the design, construction and operation of offshore, subsea and coastal structures.
You will also learn about applied wave mechanics, underwater technology and offshore renewable energy concepts.
• marine and offshore engineering, focusing on the design, maintenance, and management of mechanical and mechanical-electrical systems.
You’ll also learn about diverse maritime engineering topics from oil and gas exploration and extraction to submarine cabling, wind farms and wave power.

Outline:

The final year of the program at AQF8 consists of capstone projects such as research project and design project.

Careers:

From doing year 10 work experience with a Naval Architect and falling in love with the concept of designing ships, to becoming Chief Technology Officer for a small tech company. Harry chased his passion for Maritime Engineering and tailored his studies to make sure he became the Naval Architect he wanted to be. He enjoys using his education to develop autonomy solutions in the maritime sector.
