Marine Studies in Vancouver Canada

The BCIT Marine Campus¹ is proud to be one of only 5 institutions across Canada accredited to deliver Marine Nautical and Marine Engineering Cadet Programs. Our waterfront North Vancouver Campus provides a truly maritime learning environment and offers students a wide range of courses and programs in Navigation, Marine Engineering, Seamanship and Maritime Security, as well as Nautical Science programs such as the Diploma of Technical Studies (Deck Officer).

We are also the primary provider of accredited professional training for the maritime industry in British Columbia. Our state-of-the-art marine bridge and engine room simulators provide students with an interactive and challenging classroom learning experience and one of the best technical preparations available in Canada for a maritime career. BCIT also offers students the exciting opportunity to go to sea for six-month periods between academic terms, time that is both Transport Canada (TC) and Maritime Coast Guard Agency UK approved.
