About this course

Through a joint venture with Australian Maritime College (AMC), New Zealand students can now study maritime engineering in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.

Course structure

If you're studying maritime engineering, you'll become familiar with sophisticated maritime engineering and technology. Most of your first-year courses are shared between the majors in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, making it easy for you to switch between our engineering degrees and majors.

A minimum of 12 weeks of planned supervised work placement is required prior to graduation on top of successful completion of all your courses. This experience exposes you to common engineering industry practices and helps you gain knowledge of engineering procedures, engineering responsibilities, and health and safety practices.
