Bachelor of Marine Engineering Technology

Tuition fees are 28,823 AED per year.

Marine engineering technology concerns the design, operation, and maintenance of the machinery and systems that power ships and other marine vessels. Students in this field typically study marine engines, ship power systems, mechanical and electrical engineering principles, marine safety, and maintenance practices, along with the technical standards and regulations governing vessel machinery. Coursework often combines classroom instruction in engineering fundamentals with practical, hands-on training relevant to shipboard systems. Graduates commonly pursue careers as marine engineers, engine officers, technical superintendents, or maintenance and operations specialists within shipping companies, shipyards, and offshore industries. The Bachelor of Marine Engineering Technology is offered by Sharjah Maritime Academy in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, and delivered in English. As a bachelor's degree, it provides technical training grounded in engineering principles applied specifically to marine and maritime contexts, preparing graduates for roles that require both mechanical knowledge and familiarity with maritime operations. Students typically develop an understanding of how ship propulsion, power generation, and auxiliary systems function and are maintained, alongside safety and regulatory knowledge relevant to working on or supporting vessels. The program suits students interested in the technical and engineering side of the maritime industry rather than its commercial or logistics dimensions. Sharjah Maritime Academy, located in Sharjah, is dedicated to maritime education within the United Arab Emirates, drawing on the emirate's established links to shipping and marine industries along the Gulf coast. The program is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation.
