This marine electrical engineering award prepares trainees for electro-technical officer roles at sea. Its three-year structure alternates college study with periods on board ship, where students log their practical training. The course is designed to reach the academic standard needed for the degree and the associated officer certificate.
Modules span electronic principles and control, radio communication, marine control systems and marine navigation systems, alongside engineering mathematics and marine operations. Work-based learning runs through the college phases, and the course closes with a substantial engineering project. Content reflects the day-to-day demands placed on electro-technical officers in today's maritime industries.
An applicant aiming for this career path should expect a demanding blend of theory and shipboard experience. Students who complete the programme are prepared for the responsibilities of an electrical officer at sea.
