Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture and Fees in Australia

Required a degree in Naval Architecture or Marine Engineering? These universities in Australia could be of a help. 

Though Naval Architecture/Naval Engineering and Marine Engineering are closely related course (both work on sea vessels) they are not totally the same.

While Naval Architecture study, design and develop of all forms of water crafts from ground up, Marine engineering study, design and develop just the equipment  used onboard sea vessels and offshore platforms.  That mean to say a Marine Engineer is skill in all equipment and parts that engineered watercraft. 

Both courses are subsets of Maritime Engineering and that is why they are offered as specialisation of it by the few universities that teach the two courses in Australia. Therefore, you will first have to register for Maritime Engineering and thereafter choose either Naval Architecture or Marine and Offshore Engineering as your area of specialisation.
