MARITIME STUDIES
BACHELOR OF MARINE ENGINEERING
Course Aim:
The aim of the degree program is to provide the student with the opportunity to obtain a Bachelor of Marine Engineering degree. This degree program will equip students with the necessary skills to find work within the maritime sector, both ashore and at sea. Should the student wish to pursue a career at sea, the qualification is approved by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).
Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
Persons achieving this qualification will be able to, independently as well as under supervision, integrate analytical and practical engineering techniques and engineering knowledge to solve well-defined and open-ended engineering problems. They will also be able to select criteria to judge processes and outcomes. This qualification is intended for engineering practitioners in industry.
Professional Registration and Accreditation
The academic content housed within the degree program is accredited by SAMSA, right up to Chief Engineering Officer level.
Opportunities:
Should the student wish to pursue a career at sea, the qualification is approved by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).
The qualification provides an opportunity for Marine Engineer Officers (or aspirant Marine Engineering Officers) to obtain both a Bachelor’s Degree, and a STCW95 compliant certificate of competency (once other industry related requirements have been met). Career opportunities also exist in the shore-based maritime industry, within many of the disciplines that support the maritime industry.
