Study Abroad Career Plan for Students

An interesting, offbeat and at the same time highly lucrative career that a student who is planning to Study Abroad can consider is that of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. The very words conjure up thoughts of adventure and the romance of the high seas.

What do Naval architects and Marine Engineers do?

Naval architects and marine engineers are responsible for designing the electrical, mechanical, and structural system that is required for building ships and other massive structures in the sea. A marine engineer has to make sure that all the equipment in the engine room of the ship is working perfectly, while the naval architect has to make sure that all the structures on the ship are properly built in order to ensure proper supply of electricity and water and proper disposal of sewage.

Education required for pursuing a career in Naval Architecture or Marine Engineering

Students who wish to take up a career in Marine Engineering or naval architecture can Study Abroad at universities which offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Marine Engineering and naval architecture. These programs typically teach courses in calculus, computer-aided design, mechanics, hull strength, and others. Most university programs in marine engineering also require that the student spends some time at sea and gets practical experience of being on a sea-borne vessel. The challenges faced by an architect on the sea are quite different from the challenges faced by an architect on land. For example, an architect who builds structures on the sea has to keep in mind the buoyancy of water while designing the structure. Students who study abroad to get a degree in naval architecture can get onboard operating experience by spending time on the sea during the summer.

Students who are planning to study abroad for marine engineering should take up subjects such as algebra, calculus, trigonometry, chemistry, and physics in their 12th grade.

Most asked questions on Google

The common notion is that foreign universities are expensive, although with scholarships this is an exaggerated issue. What many fail to consider are time and effort. Studying in an Indian college leads to a lower average salary than earned by our western counterparts. This salary sets the tone for all future promotions since companies often look at your previous salaries during compensation appraisals. Additionally, most senior positions tend to be scooped up by individuals who have an international outlook through global exposure.  Finally, studying in a foreign country is an incredible learning experience helping students get a better academic as well as soft skill development.

Canada has been one of the market leaders in education for decades. However, what currently sets Maple Country apart is immigration. Canada is wholeheartedly inviting students to study in their universities to fill job vacancies that are always growing in the country. Students who study in Canada (especially a Master’s Degree) are practically assured of a Permanent Residency Visa.

A good score doesn’t automatically qualify a candidate for a scholarship, however, it is one of the primary factors that the admissions department looks for in a scholarship application. There are other attributes such as a candidate’s academics, extra-curricular, financial background, and application essays (SOPs).

We get this question a lot. Many candidates know which career path they want to take, but are at a loss for how to take that journey. Understanding the job role and the industry that you want to get into is the first step to picking the right university.

Carefully consider the immigration options of the country that the university that you are considering is in. This is more important when you intend to stay back in the country after the completion of your course.

Also, review the placement history of the university as well.

The first step is to list your preferences. By listing your preferences and strengths, describe your course of preference. Extensive research on the modules, software and its length for your preferred subject is necessary.
