In the Faculty of Marine Technology, the six-month Sea Training Course was established for graduates from the Navigation System Course in the Department of Maritime Systems Engineering and the Engine System Course in the Department of Marine Electronics and Mechanical Engineering. The Sea Training Course uses the large training ships owned by the National Institute for Sea Training. Graduates who have completed the Navigation System and Engine System Courses are trained on board a sailing ship (“Nippon-maru” or the “Kaiou-maru”) and, for most of the time, on board a 5,000 G.T. class steamship to learn the various fields of special knowledge and skills necessary for the seafarers of large vessels. When they visit foreign ports, they have exchanges with the local people and learn the basic social skills. The Faculty of Marine Technology is approved by the Japanese Government as a first-class training institute for navigation officers and engineer officers. Therefore, students who complete the Sea Training Course will be exempt from the written examination as a part of the nationally administered examination for third class navigation officers and engineer officers.
