Universities usually offer Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Engineering or PhD degree in Marine Engineering. Usually graduates start seeking for a job in this area after receiving a Master degree.

Besides courses in Marine Engineering (both practical and theoretical), students undertake courses in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Marine Navigation, Computer Science. Students also learn how to manage with the ship - many study programs in Marine Engineering include practical courses in Marine Management, students learn how to use radar and how to navigate in the sea.
