The Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) was developed to serve the needs of the Australian ship design, construction and related industries by providing professional engineers specifically educated in the field. AMC makes use of its uniquely maritime focus and its wide variety of specialist facilities to produce graduates with a strong "hands on" approach to complement their theoretical studies, and endeavours to emphasize aspects of naval architecture particularly suited to the high-speed and smaller craft industries.
