Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) - Maritime Engineering and Architecture Education

Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering Education at SIT Singapore

Established in 2009 and became an autonomous university in 2014, Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is a university of applied learning and offers industry-focused degree programs, integrating learning, industry and community targeted at growth industries. SIT currently has six distributed campuses, with its main campus in SIT@Dover.

With a unique pedagogy that integrates work and study, the degree programs feature the signature Integrated Work Study Program (IWSP) that exemplifies the best of university-industry collaboration. Students are immersed in the real working world for up to 12 months, allowing them to gain practical job skills and be work-ready.

Teaming up with reputable overseas universities from the United States, Europe and Australasia to deliver a global perspective on practice-oriented learning with a close connection to the industry. Some of them are - DigiPen Institute of Technology, Massey University, Newcastle University, and Technical University of Munich to name a few.

SIT provides students opportunity of study world class curriculum in collaboration with Newcastle University which is the largest and broadest-based marine school in the UK, covering the fields of marine engineering, naval architecture, offshore engineering, coastal management and small craft technology, and enjoys a substantial international reputation. All students will have opportunities for a 3-6 week attachment at the home campuses of the overseas universities where they get to experience a different culture and interact with overseas students.

Undergraduate Programs

• BEng (Hons) Marine Engineering (3 years): The Bachelor of Engineering with Hons in Marine Engineering is a three-year direct hons degree program jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University. Well-grounded with fundamentals in marine and offshore technology, students will hone their critical and analytical skills to be practice-oriented and industry-ready. Students will go through rigorous academic training and immerse themselves in the marine industry through the Integrated Work Study Program (IWSP) with leading marine and offshore engineering organizations such as Keppel O&M Ltd, Sembcorp Marine Ltd, Singapore Technologies Marine Ltd and Wartsila Singapore.
• BEng (Hons) Naval Architecture (3 years): This degree program is directed towards the design, development and operation of ships and other marine vehicles. The principles of stability, structures, response in a seaway, resistance and propulsion can be applied to vessels as diverse as ferries, giant oil tankers, tugs and even warships. Naval Architects excel in various sectors of the shipbuilding industry including ship design and construction, technical and safety consultancy, operations, management and commerce, as well as the engineering of offshore renewable energy sources such as wind, wave and tidal power. Students will go through rigorous academic training and immerse themselves in the marine industry with leading marine and offshore engineering organizations.
• BEng (Hons) Offshore Engineering (3 years): This degree program is geared to the demands of the offshore engineering industry with a solid basis in engineering fundamentals. Students will learn to design and produce fixed and floating offshore oil and gas production installations, along with the crafts that service these and other offshore developments. The program also aims to instill in students the skills and techniques appropriate for companies in various sectors of the marine and offshore fields. Offshore Engineers excel in various sectors of the marine and offshore industries including ocean mining, offshore disposal, offshore pipelines and cables, offshore structures and salvage operations.
