The Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime) (Honours) requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time) and is offered as part of a collaborative agreement between Flinders University and the University of Tasmania.
The first two years of the award will be undertaken at Flinders University. Students will then transfer to the Australian Maritime College in Launceston (part of the University of Tasmania) for two years to complete their award. At the end of the second year, on transition to the University of Tasmania, students will be required to choose one of the three degrees:
The award will be conferred by the University of Tasmania.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of any of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.
This course may involve practical work on board a maritime vessel. It is an Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) requirement that students undertake a medical assessment and have a valid Elements of Shipboard Safety (ESS) Certificate prior to going to sea. This certificate will be arranged during the first two years of study.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime) (Honours) has been developed to serve the needs of the Australian maritime industries by providing professional engineers specifically educated in the field. The collaboration between Flinders University and the AMC makes use of the strengths of the two institutions including the AMC's uniquely maritime focus and its wide variety of specialist facilities to produce graduates with a strong "hands on" approach to complement their theoretical studies. Graduates of this award will ensure that Australia stays at the forefront of worldwide maritime technology.
The course prepares students for careers in one of three areas:
On completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Engineering) (Honours), the Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) (Honours) or the Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Engineering)(Honours) students will be eligible for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) (Honours), the Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Engineering) (Honours) or the Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Engineering) (Honours) a student must complete 144 units (72 units at Flinders) with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
Subject to passing all first and second year topics, students are guaranteed transfer to the University of Tasmania to complete the remaining two years of their program. Any requests for transfer under different circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
