Ship Operation Technology/ Plant and Supply Technology
Bachelor (B. Sc.)
Studying at the Department of Maritime Studies, Systems Engineering and Logistics
Operation of energy facilities and technical supply systems is of great importance not only in on-shore economy but also on board of merchant vessels. That involves propulsion systems, power supply facilities, sewage treatment technology, air conditioning and refrigeration technology, drinking water treatment plants and disposal technology.
Safe and efficient operation of those systems requires especially skilled personnel. The Bachelor's degree course "Ship Operation Technology/Plant and Supply Technology" offers the necessary training with the following fields of study:
Safe and efficient operation of those systems requires especially skilled personnel. The Bachelor's degree course "Ship Operation Technology/Plant and Supply Technology" offers the necessary training with the following fields of study:
- Ship Operation Technology
- Plant and Supply Technology
- Marine Engineering
- Contact
- International office
If you want to start your career in the maritime industry as a Technical Officer with the certificates according to the regulations of the international code for training and the distribution of certificates and watch keeping for seaman (STCW Manila Amendments 2010), the Bachelor's degree course in "Ship Operations Engineering/ Plant and Supply Engineering" in the field of study "Ship Operations Engineering" is the right choice.
»The university has a very good reputation in the maritime industry and offers me the best possible education.«
After two years as a technical officer assistant at Hapag-Lloyd AG, where I collected the seafaring time necessary for my studies, I decided to study at the University of Wismar. The name Wismar is a bit misleading, although I am matriculated at the HS Wismar, almost the entire course takes place in the Baltic Sea resort of Warnemünde in Rostock in the field of seafaring, systems engineering and logistics.
So I study in a place where others like to go on vacation, which was not the reason for my decision. The university has a very good reputation in the maritime industry and offers me the best possible education. After two semesters of basic studies, you go into the specialist semesters and experience lectures in small groups. So teaching is very personal, for professors you are not just any matriculation number. This results in a very good relationship between the students and the professors. We students are looked after very well; there is a preliminary course in math and physics before the start of the first semester. I would recommend this to everyone, you get to know your fellow students and get your first tips about life as a student. There are also tutoring programs for students from higher semesters, should these be needed.
The studies in Warnemünde are traditionally with an engineering focus, this is also noticeable in the basic studies. If you invest time, studying at the Wismar University of Applied Sciences offers you a wide range of opportunities after graduation, be it in shipping, on land in the maritime industry or in the form of a Masters, also on the Warnemünde campus. In addition, the environment offers a variety of opportunities for creative leisure activities. At no point have I regretted my decision to study here.
If you decide to work on shore it is the right choice to start the Bachelor degree course "Ship Operation Technology/Plant and Supply Technology" in the field of study "Plant and Supply Technology" with a solid technical education.
»At the Warnemünde study location, the multi-layered equipment of the practice laboratories offers an excellent basis for a varied and high-quality study«
For those who are interested in technology like me, this course of study with a major in systems engineering and supply engineering is just right for them. In 2 semesters of basic studies, essential engineering basics are taught. The subsequent semesters, in which theory and practice are perfectly coordinated, are completed in small groups.
Here the knowledge acquired in the lectures is made practically applicable and comprehensible. This way, there are no deficits in understanding and if so, this very individual way of working means that there is always the possibility of exchange between professor and student.
At the Warnemünde study location, the multi-layered equipment of the practice laboratories offers an excellent basis for a varied and high-quality study. A decisive factor in my choice of course is the multitude of options after completing my degree. In addition to a postgraduate master’s degree, work in the engineering field in various industries is very promising.
If you are looking for an exceptionally interesting and varied field of study, this is the right place for you. Since my childhood I have always had an interest in technology and the interaction between theory and practice that exists here has convinced me of this course. The basic course lasts two semesters and provides a very good basis for the further semesters, in which the theoretical knowledge acquired can then be practically understood based on the laboratory exercises. If you have any unanswered questions, you can always get in touch with your professors and lecturers, who are at your side with advice and action.
Due to the wide range of topics, there are many and different opportunities after completing this degree. The Warnemünde location makes your time as a student really beautiful and after an instructive day you can end the day on the beach with fellow students or friends.
Anyone who decides to study systems engineering and supply technology will receive very good engineering knowledge that can be applied in practice, plus an excellent maritime atmosphere.
The field of study "Maritime Engineering" is aimed at all those who – in addition to an engineering education for the operation of ship systems and maritime systems – would also like to qualify in the areas of management, organisation and business administration in the maritime world.

The International Office is the overseas harbour of our university, so to speak. It is the point of contact for students, lecturers and staff who are going out into the world as part of various exchange programmes with our partner universities. Conversely, we are the first port of call for those who want to come to us as students, lecturers or staff from our partner universities.
The atmosphere on campus is international. Nevertheless, you will have no problem learning German during your time with us. We are not a university for the masses. Everyday university life offers you plenty of opportunities for interpersonal exchange at all levels.
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact our international office – it is the first point of contact for those who would like to join us as a student.
