Marine Engineering (Double Degree) Hochschule Wismar - University of Applied Sciences, Technology, Business and Design

Future challenges for efficient, safe, and environmentally-friendly shipping will require a smart combination of competencies for ship building and ship operation. This Bachelor’s programme implements an innovative approach based on the high standards of German engineering science. The Bachelor’s programme is focused on the growing demand for marine engineers in Indonesia, Asia and around the world. It was designed by Hochschule Wismar University of Applied Sciences and ITS Surabaya, both of which have a superb international reputation and the highest standards in higher maritime education. By combining the strengths of both, the universities have created a new outstanding programme for future marine engineers. The partners use the Polimarin Semarang, the former Semarang Growth Centre, a leading maritime education and training centre in Southeast Asia built in cooperation between the German and Indonesian governments. The entire study programme is held at ITS Surabaya with the support of four professors from Wismar University and several guest lecturers from the international maritime industry.

The main benefits of the programme include:

• An excellent study programme in Indonesia followed by global employment opportunities
• The development of outstanding competencies and a high educational standard of marine engineering
• Alignment to the needs of industry and preparation for postgraduate studies

The Bachelor's programme offers a unique combination of competencies in shipbuilding, ship operation and ship maintenance technologies. The first two semesters provide a well-founded education in natural sciences and the English language. Subsequently, the special curriculum in semesters three to seven will develop key competencies from maritime technical management such as:

• Technical ship operational management
• Ship maintenance management
• Marine surveying
• Marine safety and environmental management
• Naval architecture for marine engineers
• Basic engine room design

The programme has a particular focus on the systematic understanding of maritime-technical systems, including their function, construction, operation and maintenance. Practical experience in these areas is developed through extensive laboratory work and simulator exercises. A well-defined set of specialised elective courses is offered in semesters five to seven, preparing for particular subjects of contemporary marine engineering practice as well as an understanding of Germany’s culture and language. Students write their Bachelor’s theses in semester seven and defend it in a colloquium public to both contributing universities.
