The Degree in Marine Technologies qualifies for the professional title of 2nd Class Engineer Officer (Second Engineer Officer of the Merchant Navy), a title regulated Nationally and Internationally by the International Maritime Organization in its STCW code in the Machinery section, A-III.
Once the student has graduated in Marine Technologies, he or she will have direct access to the Master's degree linked to the profession of Chief Engineer of the Merchant Navy (Annex V Resolution of the University Council, January 20, 2016), implemented in 2021.
There are no specific entrance exams, however, it is necessary (to practice the profession) to pass a medical examination (see articles 5 to 19 of RD 973/2009, of June 12 - BOE July 2).
The Bachelor's Degree in Marine Technologies is included in the Engineering and Architecture Branch of University Studies, and is therefore primarily designed to accommodate graduates of the Baccalaureate in Science and Technology, as well as those enrolled in the corresponding Higher Vocational Training Courses related to the degree.
Once qualified as a Merchant Navy Engineer Officer, the Graduate in Marine Technologies will have the following responsibilities:
- a) To serve as an engineer officer or first engineer officer on merchant vessels without power limitations.
- b) Act as chief engineer (+24 months) or first officer (+12 months) on merchant ships with a power of up to 3,000 kW.
- c) Professionally carry out all activities related to their maritime profession
Once qualified as an Electrical Officer in the Merchant Navy, the Graduate in Marine Technologies will have the following responsibilities:
- a) To serve as an electrical officer on merchant vessels whose main propulsion engine has a power equal to or greater than 750 kW.
- b) Professionally carry out all activities related to their maritime profession
The Graduate in Marine Technologies, in addition to the duties already mentioned, once qualified as an Engineer Officer and/or Electrotechnical Officer (soon), performs his/her duties in optimizing the operation, repair, maintenance, installation, assembly and exploitation of energy, electrical and electronic installations, mechanical equipment and automation processes, mainly for ships, although statistically he/she is also linked to industrial installations, both maritime (platforms, terminals, etc.) and terrestrial (thermal power plants, hotels, etc.).
The Graduate in Marine Technologies will be qualified, among others, to perform functions in:
- a) Operate the main and auxiliary machinery and corresponding control systems of a Vessel
- b) Operate electrical, electronic and control systems
- c) Maintenance and repair of electrical and electronic equipment
- d) Operate generators and distribution systems
- e) Properly use hand tools, machine tools and measuring instruments for manufacturing and repair operations
- f) Maintenance and repair of on-board machinery and equipment
- g) Ensure compliance with pollution prevention
Today, we can speak of the great employability possibilities through both the academic degree (Degree in Nautical Science and Maritime Transport) and the professional title of 2nd Class Bridge Officer (Merchant Navy Pilot).
