It has been replaced by 24V1 Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) please visit that page for the latest information.Learn from highly-qualified engineers with the Southern Hemisphere's most advanced collection of maritime facilities.The Australian Maritime College’s (AMC) Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours degree will provide you with a combination of core knowledge and transferable skills that are highly valued by employers.

Our degree is designed to prepare you for your engineering career with the expertise to pursue one of three maritime specialisations:Naval Architecture provides student with specialist knowledge and technical skills to design and construct vessels within the shipping, high-speed, offshore, defence, underwater and recreational industries;Ocean Engineering provides student with specialist knowledge and technical skills to design offshore structures, sub-sea and coastal installations for sustainable development in the maritime environment;Marine and Offshore Engineering provides student with specialist knowledge and technical skills in design, deployment, commissioning and management of mechanical and mechanical-electrical systems associated with the shipping, marine and offshore oil and gas industries.You will learn from highly qualified engineers who are committed to delivering a study experience that is practical and industry orientated.

In addition to individual and group projects, laboratory work and training in the southern hemispheres most advanced maritime research and training facilities, you will also undertake a minimum of 12 weeks real-life work experience to further develop your skillset in a professional learning environment.AMC also offers a Bachelor of Engineering (specialisation with Honours) Cooperative.

This 5-year course allows you to combine your studies with between 15 and 18 months of practical experience in your chosen specialisation.

Working under the supervision of professional engineers, the course allows you to evaluate your career choice and gain industry experience.

You will alternate periods of full-time study with periods of full-time paid work experience.Students interested in majoring in Civil Engineering, Electronics and Communications, Electrical and Electronics, Electrical Power and Mechanical Engineering should refer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours, course code P4D.

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours degrees are accredited by Engineers Australia, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the International Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). You will have access to world class training and research facilities, providing you with a competitive edge as graduates.

After your first two years of study you will choose one of three of our Maritime Engineering specialisations:
