At the end of the course, participants will understand and gain expertise in:

• The associated international laws and conventions that marine engineers are required to know
• The science behind the practice of marine engineering, ship design principles, operations, maintenance, and surveys
• Propulsion designs and future developments
• Power generation and thermodynamics auxiliary and ancillary machinery systems, and layout
• The marine engineer’s awareness of operating in a safe and efficient manner
• Consideration for and the legal requirements covering the environment
• Undertaking a vessel design specification combining the necessary legislation, structural and engineering considerations

Delivered in partnership between the National Maritime Training Centre at North Kent College and Lloyd’s Maritime Academy, the Diploma in Marine Engineering course continues to be the ideal professional development course for existing ship managers, prospective ship managers and for those who work alongside the ship management sector.

The Diploma in Marine Engineering has been academically assessed to provide 60 credits of prior learning accreditation towards a unique MBA delivered in partnership between Lloyd's Maritime Academy and Middlesex University.
