Bachelor in Marine Engineering

Marine Engineering focuses on the design, operation, and maintenance of ships and marine systems, including propulsion, machinery, and onboard electrical and mechanical equipment. Typical coursework covers thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, marine machinery systems, ship construction, and maritime safety regulations, often combined with practical training on shipboard systems. Graduates commonly work as marine engineers aboard vessels, in shipyards, or in maritime equipment maintenance and inspection roles. This bachelor program is offered in English over 4 years at Piri Reis University in Istanbul, Turkey, a university with a strong maritime orientation. Istanbul's location on major shipping routes and its active port facilities give students access to a maritime industry directly relevant to the field. The program combines engineering fundamentals with maritime-specific training, preparing graduates for technical careers in shipping and marine operations.
