Introduction

The mission of the Navigation, Hydrography and Naval Equipment (NHNE) Bachelor of Science Programme, developed by the Navy Faculty

of the “Mircea cel Batran” Naval Academy is to develop the knowledge, skills and leadership needed for the competences of the Romanian

Navy’s deck officer, as well as founding the background for the further education and personal development. The study programme is also

suitable for other beneficiaries from the national defence system (the Border Police - maritime and river division). The professional and

transversal competences of the NHNE graduates allow them to perform also other occupations related to maritime/river transportation in the

civilian labor market.

After the completion of a 6-month course in the Navy’s Application School, the main assignments the NHNE graduate are onboard naval ships,

as the following:

- Officer of the watch, navigator;

- Weapons/Operations officer;

- Communications/Electronic Warfare officer;

- Executive officer on river boats/auxiliary vessels.

The NHEN study programme is a mandatory prerequisite for higher level naval assignments, as executive officer and commanding officer.

The NHEN curriculum is the fundamental document that establishes the academic and vocational topics needed for the undergraduate students to

meet the deck officer competences. Therefore, by applying all the procedures and activities requested by the Academy’s Quality Management

System, the study programme ends with the awarding of an academic Diploma of Engineer in the field of Marine Engineering and Navigation,

specialty of Navigation, Hydrography and Naval Equipment.

In addition to the professional competences acquired, the NHNE graduates are also formed as military leaders able to cope with the requirements

of an ever changing defence environment.
