Bachelor in Maritime Transportation Engineering

At Girne American University, tuition fees are 8,750 EUR per year.

This program in maritime transportation engineering combines engineering coursework with the operational knowledge needed to work in ship operations and maritime transport. Students typically study marine engineering systems, ship operations, navigation fundamentals, maritime safety, port and shipping management, and maritime regulation, developing a combined technical and managerial understanding of the sector. Coursework often examines how ships are operated and maintained alongside how shipping companies plan routes, manage cargo, and comply with international maritime rules. Because safety is central to maritime work, much of the training emphasizes structured procedures and operational discipline. Graduates commonly pursue careers with shipping companies, port authorities, maritime logistics providers, and marine technical organizations, taking on roles in ship operations, port and terminal coordination, maritime logistics planning, or regulatory and technical support. This bachelor's degree is offered at Girne American University in Girne, Northern Cyprus, with instruction delivered entirely in English over four years. Being situated in a coastal city with active maritime and shipping activity gives students a practical setting for their coursework, connecting classroom content on shipping and port operations to the surrounding environment. English is widely used as the working language of international shipping, navigation, and maritime law, so English-medium study supports the communication skills graduates will need in the field. Across the four-year program, students generally move from foundational engineering and business subjects toward specialized maritime transportation topics, with more advanced coursework typically involving applied or operational scenarios drawn from the shipping industry.
