Marine Engineering B.Sc. degree
The maritime sector plays a key role regarding the social & economic development, and it is a potential source of excellent employment & career opportunities for the millions of people currently working in maritime-related activities and companies around the world.
The maritime industry includes the provision of goods and services in the maritime sector, shipyards, shipbuilding, ports, infrastructure, logistics and tourism. According to Koncept Analytics statistics, maritime transport is the dominant branch of the transport sector in terms of size.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Engineering focuses on the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of marine vessels, propulsion systems, and offshore structures, blending mechanical, electrical, and naval architecture principles for ships and offshore platforms, with programs leading to careers on land or at sea.
The program has a duration of 4 years, and it is designed to provide graduates with specific and specialized engineering skills, corresponding to the requirements of the international maritime economy. Graduates will thus acquire the level of scientific, engineering and managerial knowledge but also the practical skills appropriate to the current and future needs of the shipping industry, respectively the river, sea and offshore shipbuilding industry.
WHAT WILL YOU STUDY
The interdisciplinary curriculum is aligned with the international standards, STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping), STCW III/1 and is certified by ANR (RNA) (Romanian Naval Authority) to contribute to providing the technical and managerial skills for a successful career.
- Internal combustion engines components and ancillary systems
- Internal combustion engines processes and characteristics
- Steam generators, steam and gas turbines
- Maintenance and repairs of naval vessels in site
- Onboard systems
BENEFITS
International recognition
The Bachelor’s degree and the officer’s certificate are internationally recognized, giving you the opportunity to be hired anywhere around the world
Flexibility
If during your university studies you carry out your internship on board the ship, we offer you the opportunity to study online on the virtual campus. You will benefit from an open session, and you can reschedule and sit the exams when you return to the university.
Study opportunities abroad
Many of our students choose to study a semester at one of the partner faculties, benefiting from the ERASMUS scholarship.
Alternatives
All our graduates can choose between a career at sea or on shore.
Modern technology
The ICT field is gaining more and more ground and the maritime sector is keeping up with this trend. You will work on the most modern navigation simulators.
On board training
More than 20 crewing companies signed partnerships with the university, giving students the chance to do their cadetship within multicultural crews. More than 150 students go at sea every year.
Seamanship
Seamanship is the skill, techniques, or practice of handling a ship or boat at sea. As a first year student you will be learning sailing skills in manoeuvring sailing boats on Lake Siutghiol (Headquarters of the Nautical Base of the university).
Career Prospects
- Shore-Based: Ship design, shipbuilding, port management, surveying, offshore platform engineering, or research
- At Sea: officer in charge of an engineering watch in a manned engine-room, (see note)
Note: Since the study programmes are fully compliant with the international legal frame regarding seafarers, international students willing to pursue a maritime career in Nautical Sciences, Marine Engineering or Electrical Engineering may equivalise the B.Sc. degree and receive Certificates of competency in their country of origin according to local provisions and norms.
