Typically a previous education in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Maritime engineering, Ship officers, Mechanical, Aero Engineering, Civil Engineering, etc. are suitable;

There is indeed a large demand from ship-owners and port authorities to hire such officers, knowing what on-board service is, to manage and maintain their fleet;
• Engineers looking to start a career in a shipyard, ship owner, manufacturer, classification societies,...
• Candidates looking for complementary education in the Sailing Pleasure Crafts and Mega/Motor Yachts, but also in Safer and Cleaner Maritime and Inland Navigation transportation modes.

According to Article 54 of the decree of March 31, 2004 (Belgium) in order to be eligible to the EMship program, a student must hold a: master degree obtained after five years of studies (called BAC+5).

In Belgium, five years of studies are equivalent to 300 credits (60 credits for each year) = BAC+5.

Typically, your application can be accepted if you hold at least a 3 years bachelor degree and a 2 years master degree, or a 4 years bachelor degree and a one-year master degree.

However, if you do not fulfill these conditions (for instance you have no master or you have only 4 years of education), there are some special situations for which you can be accepted.
