Marine Engineering Operations
The Marine Engineering Operations Program curriculum is primarily designed to prepare students for engine officer positions on merchant ships. The standards are set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and outlined in the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). The training programs are structured to comply with these international standards as well as the competency requirements set by the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs, and Communications and the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
Students who graduate from the two-year associate degree program at the Maritime Vocational School and successfully pass the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) conducted by ÖSYM can continue their studies in a four-year bachelor’s program. They can enroll in PRU’s Marine Engineering Operations Engineering Department or other universities’ equivalent programs, completing an additional two years of coursework to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded an Associate Degree in Marine Engineering Operations.
