The information and program qualifications related to the Marine Engineering Bachelor of Science Program, under the Department of Marine Engineering of the Faculty of Maritime, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
ITUMF is one of the youngest faculties in ITU and was founded in 1992. The Faculty is the continuation of the High Maritime School which was founded in 1884. The Faculty maintains education activities on Bsc/Msc/Phd levels. The campus has 52 independent buildings on a 70.000 m2 campus area and a 400 m long coast line to the Sea of Marmara.
Graduates receive ITU Maritime Faculty Marine Engineering License Diploma after 1 year of English Preparation and 4 years of license education in Marine Engineering Department.
Students who succeed in the license exam administered by the National Seafarers Exam Center receive their Marine Engineer Certificate and start working on Turkish or foreign flagged ships as a 3rd Engineer. They can then proceed to get their 2nd Engineer and Chief Engineer licenses once they complete the sea time requirements set forth by the national administration.
Students get their practical training onboard the M/V SİSMİK-1 training/laboratory vessel, the Engine Room Simulators, Fire Fighting Training Center, Training Pool and various Laboratories. The 6th semester is also reserved for sea training onboard national or international flagged merchant marine vessels on international routes.
60 students are admitted to ITU Maritime Faculty Marine Engineering Department every year. The entire education is carried out in uniform.
