Postgraduate study by coursework The Australian Maritime College (AMC) offers students the flexibility to undertake coursework programs at graduate certificate, graduate diploma, or master’s level. AMC also offers flexibility in study modes, with a large portion of courses delivered both by distance and on campus. This is highlighted within the course section.

Higher degrees by research AMC is a centre of excellence for maritime research. We are committed to furthering our understanding of how to build and operate the most efficient and sustainable maritime tools and processes.

Our research aims to add to the sum of human knowledge, drive innovation, meet the needs of industry and defence, and bring broad benefits to society.

We have a unique position as Australia’s national maritime centre with the most advanced maritime research facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. This creates an exceptional environment for facilitating research in diverse areas such as maritime renewable energy, naval architecture, fluid dynamics, offshore engineering, human-centred design, sustainable ports, and underwater robotics.

Research is conducted in partnership with industry, educational and research institutes, and government agencies such as ARC, AMSA, DST Group, RAN, CSIRO, and the Australian Antarctic Division.

These partnerships enable us to provide a rich, intellectual environment and access to specialist facilities.

Locations The Australian Maritime College is located in Launceston, at the northern end of Australia’s island state, Tasmania.

In 2018, AMC also officially opened the AMC Sydney Study Centre, located at the Australian National Maritime Museum in the heart of Sydney’s Darling Harbour.

AMC's facilities Our students enjoy access to the Southern Hemisphere’s most advanced collection of maritime facilities including ship simulators, a fleet of training vessels, Towing Tank, Model Test Basin, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) laboratory and a unique cavitation laboratory.

AMC is continually investing in infrastructure to ensure students receive a world class experience.

4

Towing Tank

Cavitation Research Laboratory

As the largest and only commerciallyoperating facility of its type in Australasia, the Towing Tank was commissioned in the mid 1980’s and has since undertaken tests on more than 500 models of ships and ocean structures.

This research laboratory is unique in Australia and one of the few experimental laboratories of this kind in the world. The laboratory is used to test hydrodynamic behaviour of submerged structures such as submarines and ship hulls. This laboratory will receive $3.3 million of upgrades over the next three years.

Bluefin

Model Test Basin

AMC’s flagship training vessel, Bluefin, cruises Australian waters with up to 25 students and staff on board for training voyages. Studies include wave energy research, habitat monitoring, fish sampling, fishing technology, machinery operation and maintenance, environmental assessment, oceanographic instrument mooring, and ship design and function.

The Model Test Basin is a state-of-theart facility used by Engineering students and national research organisations.

Hydrodynamic experiments are conducted in the Model Test Basin to simulate maritime operations with varying wave conditions in shallow water environments.

Centre for Maritime Simulations

Collaborative Learning Space

Survival Centre

This state-of-the-art facility offers realtime maritime simulation technology that includes a full-mission ship’s bridge, engine room simulator, a tug simulator and six ship operations bridges. It is used for research and investigation into port development, ship manoeuvring, and improving ship and port safety and efficiency.

AMC has redeveloped existing learning and teaching spaces to transform collaboration between staff and students by providing a flexible, technology-rich environment which supports active learning.

This facility provides essential safety and survival at sea training for students.

Autonomous Underwater Maritime Systems Laboratory

Marine Fire Fighting Training Centre

AMC Sydney Study Centre

The Autonomous Underwater Maritime Systems Laboratory is a hub for world-class Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) research and technology. The new AUV facility building is unique within Australia and one of just a handful of comparable facilities globally, allowing us to be on the cutting-edge of research in this field.

Staffed by experienced officers, this facility specialises in practical training including the control of liquid and gas fires, and the use of self-contained breathing apparatus to fight fires in a mock ship structure.

The facility's fleet of autonomous vehicles includes UBC-Gavia and Mullaya, with the construction of the ISE Explorer AUV currently underway.

Combining a heated pool and mock ship’s superstructure, this facility is blacked out for simulated night exercises, and can also create water turbulence, rain, wind noise and simulated storm effects.

AMC Sydney is a collaborative learning space, situated at the Australian National Maritime Museum, in the heart of Sydney's famous Darling Harbour.

The fire investigation unit provides seafarers with the knowledge and skills to determine the cause of fires on ships and how to preserve the scene.

“I finished my first degree in Mechanical Engineering, specialising in Automative Engineering, in Brazil. I was working in this field at the time. I moved to Australia in 2010, but due to the financial crisis in the automotive industry in Australia, I could not find employment as an automotive engineer. I decided then to change my specialisation to an area that was more indemand in Australia. Since I have always enjoyed the boats and the work of the defence industry, I decided to study Naval Engineering. I researched several universities around Australia before deciding to study at AMC. AMC offered the best course benefits and the best facilities in this field and the Tasmanian location was very attractive perfect for someone who wants to dedicate time for studying.”

Funding your postgraduate studies Places in postgraduate coursework degrees are offered either as Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) or full fee places. Domestic students undertaking postgraduate courses are liable for either a student contribution (CSP) or a tuition fee.

Commonwealth Supported Places While the Australian Government contributes towards course costs for CSPs, students are also required to pay a student contribution (previously known as HECS). The amount of student contribution is charged at different rates depending on your selected units.

Full fee places The tuition fee for a course is the sum of the tuition fees for each unit studied.

In some cases, units will be taken from different disciplines and may therefore incur different fees.

For information on costs of study and payment options, visit: utas.edu.au/ future-students/course-costs

Deferral of fees Eligible domestic students are able to defer their tuition fees for both CSP and full fee places by accessing HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP, dependent upon the fee structure of the course.

For further information, contact the Australian Taxation Office HECS enquiries 132 861 or visit: studyassist.gov.au Alternatively, students may elect to pay tuition fees in part or in full upfront.
