If you're considering a maritime career or aiming to advance in the industry, our Bachelor of Applied Science (Marine Engineering) serves as your passport to global seafaring opportunities. The Australian Maritime College's Marine Engineering degree equips you with essential expertise for operating and maintaining shipboard engineering systems. This unique program combines academic study with professional short courses and sea training, enabling you to earn not just a bachelor's degree or Advanced Diploma, but also an AMSA-issued Certificate of Competency. You'll develop the practical abilities and theoretical understanding needed to thrive as a Marine Engineer on commercial vessels, covering marine systems, ship operations, transport logistics, vessel management, maritime law, safety protocols, and marine surveying. We also provide an accelerated pathway - our nested Advanced Diploma allows you to qualify as an Engineer Watchkeeper after just two years of study. All programs meet the rigorous STCW Convention (2010 amendments) standards for seafarer training and certification.
