Marine engineering
Structure Study
From the academic year (2021-2022), the Marine Engineering course is offered as an academic course (3 years bachelor + 1 year master).
1st Bachelor
The first year provides you with a basis for the rest of your studies. You will gradually get to know the systems on board a ship. In addition, you get a good package of mathematics and physics. Nevertheless, a lot of attention is paid to practicality from the start. In your first year you will obtain all the necessary safety certificates to be allowed on board a ship. During your first Bachelor you will go on a sea internship on the DAR Młodzieży for a month. IMPORTANT! Note that our Bachelor and Master programmes Nautical Sciences and Marine Engineering are taught in Dutch or French, not in English. You'll need a language level B2 in either Dutch or French to study the full programme at Antwerp Maritime Academy.
