Learn from highly-qualified engineers with the Southern Hemisphere's most advanced collection of maritime facilities.
This degree is designed for engineering high achievers, and will provide you with a combination of core knowledge and transferable skills that are highly valued by employers, as well as significant industry experience prior to graduation. 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, defense, 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.
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.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours (Co-operative Education) programme is a distinctive Maritime Engineering degree and the only of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. The five-year programme is accredited by Engineers Australia and aligned with the needs of industry, opening up a world of possible careers for professionally qualified maritime engineers who can provide innovative and creative solutions within the Australian and international maritime industry. The degree has a strong practical approach using our specialist facilities.
This program combines study with practical experience in the chosen field and will alternate periods of full-time study with periods of full-time paid work experience within the industry. The students will work under the supervision of professional engineers which will enable them to evaluate career choices and gain experience in a variety of industry and engineering work settings.
Within the first two years of study, compulsory units in the degree cover the fundamental aspects of maritime engineering, after which students specialise in one of the following:
- naval architecture, focusing on the design and construction of vessels within the shipping, high-speed, offshore, military, underwater and recreational industries;
- ocean engineering, focusing on the design of offshore structures, sub-sea and coastal installations for sustainable development in the maritime environment; or
- marine and offshore engineering, focusing on the design, deployment, commissioning and management of mechanical and mechanical-electrical systems associated with the shipping, marine and offshore oil and gas industries.
The final year of the program at AQF8 consists of capstone projects such as research project and design project. The integration of experiential learning, application of authentic real world learning to problem solving and professional skills will enable students to apply to these capstone honours projects.
Work placement
Students undertake paid work placements throughout the course. See the Co-operative Education unit list in the course structure for the full list of units in which work placement is undertaken.
Career outcomes
Naval Architecture
The Naval Architecture specialisation prepares students for careers in the shipbuilding industry, designing and constructing luxury super yachts, sailing and power craft, destroyers and patrol boats for the defence industry, underwater vehicles and submarines, and big ocean cruise liners; the high-speed ferry industry; insurance sector; and marine consultancy firms. It is also an excellent gateway to a career in government in the areas of commercial shipping, transport policy and administration.
Ocean Engineering
The Ocean Engineering specialisation prepares students for careers designing and managing the installation of offshore, sub-sea and coastal structures for the oil and gas industry, in particular the offshore industry; the renewable energy industry; coastal and environmental engineering; marine consultancy firms; and ocean research organisations.
Marine and Offshore Engineering
The Marine and Offshore Engineering specialisation is unique to AMC and focuses on the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of machinery and systems associated with the marine and offshore industries. Marine systems focus on the selection, deployment and commissioning of machinery, mechanical and electrical systems and operational systems designed to support the ship and underwater vehicle industry.
There are many exciting developments being driven by increased fuel costs and the need to lower the environmental impact of vessels and oil rigs. You can get involved in engineering alternative marine power systems or improving crude oil extraction to reduce emissions while maximising yield.
There is international demand for qualified graduates in the following areas:
- Ship Building
- Alternative energy
- Marine survey
- Statutory bodies
- Military Industrial process and power generation sectors.

Articulation from
Articulation to/from approved exit awards:
Students who have met the requirements for the award of an approved nested exit award (i.e. Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Maritime)) may exit and graduate with that award.
Students who have graduated with an approved nested exit award (Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Maritime)) may later articulate to a higher level nested award with full credit for all units successfully completed under the award, provided that the units were completed no more than 10 years prior to the year of graduation from the higher-level award. Please note, however, that full credit is contingent on continuation of the same specialisation that was commenced prior to exit. A student may return to the higher level award and pursue an alternate specialisation but will be required to complete all units required by that specialisation and may therefore not receive full credit for units that contributed to the prior specialisation.
Articulation from previous course versions:
Co-op Students who have commenced a pre-2018 Bachelor of Engineering course at the Australian Maritime College may also be eligible for full credit for all units successfully completed under the previous course version (towards the Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) (Co-operative Education) with Honours or an approved nested exit award), provided that the units were completed no more than 10 years prior to the year of graduation from the new award.
Articulation to/from Co-operative Education program:
Students may articulate between the BE(Spec)(Hons) and the BE(Spec)(Hons)(Co-op) courses with full credit by the end of year one.
Articulation from other, related courses:
Students who have commenced a Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours course or similar in another area at the University of Tasmania or at another institution may receive up to a maximum of 2 years (200 credit points) of advanced standing towards the BE(Spec)(Co-op)(Hons), subject to the approval of the Course Coordinator.
Articulation to
If you successfully complete this course, you may be eligible to apply for a range of other postgraduate courses including Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas and Masters by coursework and research. Filter the Course list by Postgraduate to view the current courses available.
Alternative entry pathways

If you do not meet the minimum ATAR
You can apply for the Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours, offering the same choice of specialisations as this degree.
