School of Marine Engineering

A career in Marine Engineering is challenging, interesting and financially rewarding. Marine Engineers operate and maintain large, complex and sophisticated machinery but to do so they must be qualified. The school offers a range of courses to achieve these qualifications. The recent restructuring of the Faculty of Engineering now allows the School of Marine Engineering to concentrate exclusively on the education and training provision of the merchant navy and marine related industries. The School of Marine Engineering responds to the shipping industry’s needs for competent personnel by being proactive in the training of Engineer Ratings, Engineer Officer Cadets, and Senior Engineer Officers. The school also offers short specialist courses in marine related areas to further knowledge, competency and continuing professional development.
