SIMAC is Denmark’s largest maritime educational institution with 500 students and 90 proficient, highly educated employees. SIMAC offers three fields of studies.

The ship’s officer study programme, combines the two classic study programmes (shipmaster and marine engineer) into one that provides young students with overall comprehension of the operations involved in a modern, technologically advanced merchant vessel.

A modern version of the classic marine engineer study programme. Automation, robot technology, process comprehension and management are the key areas of the adapted marine engineer study programme. Graduates of this programme are qualified to work at sea as well as land-based industries.

Both study programmes provide access to a wide range of jobs in the shipping trade and Det BlÃ¥ Danmark (The Blue Denmark, i.e. Denmark’s maritime industry). The career path of a vast majority of our graduates usually includes the option of management positions at all levels.
 
The third opportunity is the shipmaster study programme. Upon completing the necessary time at sea this study programme qualifies you to work as a shipmaster aboard all ships.

Besides being a modern, value-managed educational institution, SIMAC conducts comprehensive course activities that generate an annual turnover of more than DKK 9 million.
