Professional Bachelor of Maritime Engineering and Electro-Technical Officer, Engineer, professional qualification. 

Certificate of Competency (CoC): Electro-Technical Officer


A great opportunity to become a highly sought specialist who safely operates ships’ electromechanical, electronic and control equipment of unlimited power; supervises the electromechanical service of ships, conducts investigation into the service’s activities; analyses the results of activities; evaluates them from an engineering and economic point of view; plans, manages, and controls activities; independently eliminates failures of the ship’s electrical and electronic equipment.


What will you learn?

You will learn how:
  • understand and apply the general principles and laws of engineering, electrical engineering, natural and environmental sciences, ensuring the operation and maintenance of electricity, electronics, power plants, control and distribution devices, propulsion and auxiliary mechanisms;
  • read, draw and analyze electrical diagrams independently while using information technologies, conduct service activity investigation, analyze technical performance results, and make effective engineering decisions in order to achieve economically useful results;
  • supervise the electromechanical service of ships, plan, manage, and control activities;
  • apply modern information and communication technologies;
  • Operate, maintain and troubleshoot ship’s electromechanical equipment safely, taking into account the influence of various factors on system reliability and availability, technical maintenance procedures, while properly selecting work and measurement tools and devices, adhering to the national and international general and maritime legislation, conventions, power quality standards, safe shipping and other requirements.

WHERE CAN YOU MAKE AN INTERNSHIP?

Duration of professional internship is 12 months, of which: 4-months onshore internship and 8-months seagoing internship:

Onshore internship:
  • Material Processing and Repair Works Workshop at LMA workshop (1st year);
  • Professional Maintenance and Repair Practice of Marine Electrical Equipment (during 2nd course).
  • The place of onshore internship: shipbuilding and repair yards
Seagoing internship:
  • Professional practice on seagoing ships (after the 2nd year);
  • Final Professional Sea-going practice (after the 3rd year).
The place of seagoing internship:
  • Seagoing vessels of 750 kW or more.

What are career opportunities after graduation?

Upon graduation at the level of Engineering activities, you will be able to properly operate, maintain, and repair ship electrical, electronic, and control equipment, automation, power distribution and electrical systems, main and auxiliary mechanisms, which are important for the ship’s manoeuvrability and safety, applying project management principles and following the rules and procedures for safe work on board, and safe operation of electrical and energy equipment. Carry out and organize the activities of the electromechanical part of the ship, and ensure the requirements of international conventions, national general and maritime legislation and occupational safety.

Admission Requirements

  • Secondary School Graduation Certificate with good results (minimum 60% CGPA)
  • Entrance score (KB) consists of grades in three subjects: mathematics (M), physics/another science subject/social science subject (F) and English language (A). The entrant's grades are normalized to the maximum possible grade. The normalized grades of individual subjects are multiplied by the weighting factor and added up (formula below). 
  • Applications must be accompanied by legalized English translations of all transcripts. Unofficial copies are not accepted. Please check country specific requirements for detailed information. 
  • English language proficiency.
  • Due to significant differences in applicants' achievements in Mathematics, applicants who have graduated from secondary or vocational schools in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nepal are required to take the Mathematics entrance exam organized by OMPT. The exam grade will be included in the Entrance score in place of the mathematics grade. The exam must be passed with a result of no less than 60% for admission to university-level Bachelor's degree study programmes and 50% for admission to professional Bachelor's degree study programmes.
