The Postgraduate Maritime Conversion Program

Ethiopian universities graduate several thousand mechanical and electrical engineers each year. EMTI provides an elite post-graduate program at Bahir Dar University (BDU) for all mechanical and electrical engineering graduates who have completed a rigorous five-year academic program at an accredited Ethiopian university.

Engineering graduates are eager to establish careers with international companies and earn international wages. Therefore, EMTI offers young, professionally trained Ethiopians an extremely desirable opportunity to become marine officers. A marine officer is viewed as prestigious and elite throughout Ethiopia, therefore the Maritime Academy has an abundant supply of prospective Cadets to recruit for its Maritime Academy. EMTI carefully screens applicants to select the most capable and disciplined Cadets for its maritime training program.
