The work placements I have been able to complete through the Co-Op program have definitely complemented the skills I’ve learnt on campus and solidified my interest in the offshore industry. Being able to spend significant time at more than one company has helped narrow down which sector of the industry I want to move into following graduation.
This 5-year cooperative program 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, this gives you experience in your chosen career and valuable industry experience. You will alternate between full-time study and periods of full-time paid work experience.
Your education will include access to world-class training and research facilities. You will benefit from AMC’s industry connections and experience, providing you with a competitive edge as a graduate.
Naval Architecture
Naval Architecture focuses on the design and construction of everything from submarines and naval ships to luxury yachts, ferries, and cargo vessels. Across multiple branches of engineering, you can gain expertise in the shipping, high-speed, offshore, defence, underwater and recreational industries.
Ocean Engineering
Dive into advanced studies of the ocean environment and the conditions that impact the life cycle of marine structures. Ocean Engineering focuses on the design, construction and operation of offshore, subsea and coastal structures. You will also learn about applied wave mechanics, underwater technology and offshore renewable energy concepts.
Marine and Offshore Engineering
This specialisation focuses on the design, maintenance, and management of mechanical and mechanical-electrical systems. You’ll also learn about diverse maritime engineering topics from oil and gas exploration and extraction to submarine cabling, wind farms and wave power.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (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 is 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, subsea 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.
Learning Outcomes
Practical experience
Bluefin: Maritime Engineering
Often described as a degree highlight, this experience gives students the chance to undertake a series of hands-on projects at sea. Take a five-day voyage on our 35-metre training vessel. You’ll engage in marine operations and discover issues unique to the deep-sea environment. Watch video
Work placement
The University of Tasmania is integrated into all areas of industry locally, nationally and internationally be it through research or work placement programs. Talk to your course coordinator about finding an opportunity to take part in a work experience, placement, or extracurricular activities during your degree.
Career outcomes
People had a rough idea where the deepest point was in the Indian Ocean, but no one knew for sure and we confirmed that. The charts at one point were off by 1000m.
More than 15,000 jobs are expected to be created in Australia over the next 50 years. Our graduates follow successful careers in one of three specialist streams of Maritime Engineering:
Naval Architect
Design the most complex machines on Earth. This includes everything from luxury yachts and submarines, to the future of autonomous shipping, to Australia’s next generation naval fleet.
Ocean Engineer
Design, build, support and maintain the huge range of structures and machines that make up the maritime industry.
Marine and Offshore Engineer
Design, manufacture, deploy and commission machinery and systems associated with the marine and offshore industries.
There is international demand for qualified graduates in the following areas:
- Ship Building
- Alternative energy
- Marine survey
- Statutory bodies
- Defence
- Industrial process and power generation sectors.
Postgraduate study
If you successfully complete this course, you may be also 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.
Professional Accreditation

Course structure
The Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) (Co-operative Education) requires the completion of 500 credit points comprising:
- 400 credit points of Core units
- 75 credit point Specialisation
- 25 credit points of Electives
The Core units are compulsory for all students and are the same set of units as completed by students enrolled in 24V1 Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours). Uniquely, the Co-operative Education program structure also incorporates the equivalent of one year of industry based work placements.
You will select your engineering Specialisation from the following: Marine and Offshore Engineering, Naval Architecture or Ocean Engineering. 6 specialist units (75 credit points) will be completed across Years 3 and 4.
In the Elective component you can choose from any units marked as "Student Electives" which you meet the pre-requisites for, at any level, from across the university. To search for possible Elective units, use the Unit Search tool to search by the discipline that you are interested in.
Your electives can be used to add breadth to your degree, by exploring a variety of different subject areas from within or outside the College of Sciences and Engineering. Alternatively, you can deepen your engagement with specific subject areas, for example, by completing additional units in the same discipline as your major or related fields.
We have a team of Student Advisers available to help you structure your studies to meet your desired outcomes. For enrolment assistance please contact us via U Connect today.
