Maritime
Careers in the maritime industry are well-paid and a qualification from MIT's New Zealand Maritime School (NZMS) could take you around the globe.
All seagoing ships, be they cruise liners, freighters or technical and research vessels, need physically fit, independent crew who work well as a team.
If you love the ocean and are good at technical subjects, launch your training at the best facility New Zealand has to offer.
