Campus Life

Residential Programmes

The residential programmes are structured to make the experience at TMI one that is rich with diversity and an active lifestyle. Residential programmes also make it possible to extend the influence of the institution on its students beyond the realm of academics.

Programmes that prepare TMI students for entry into a shipboard career require a high level of discipline as well as sustained participation in sports activities. In addition the students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities that include a Marching Band, Ship Modelling, Astronomy, Dramatics and Photography.

To make all this possible TMI's uniformed students have an early start each working day with a 45 minute physical training session just after daybreak prior to classes commencing at 9:00 a.m. The academic schedule is followed each day by sports in the late afternoon and the evening is expected to be utilised for self study, assignments and extra-curricular activities.

Students are organised into four extra curricular units or "Houses". Inter-house sports and other competitive activities provide opportunities for team building and fostering a strong peer culture amongst the students.

TMI is also active in inter-collegiate activities whereby its students can be stimulated to strive for even greater achievements in sports and extra-curricular activities than the institute can independently inspire.

Consistent with the requirements of present legislation in the shipping industry, TMI has a strict Drug and Alcohol Policy. Non compliance is dealt with severely and may lead to expulsion.

TMI firmly believes that its great emphasis on discipline, sports and other extra-curricular activities will produce focused high achievers who will be valuable team members and responsible citizens. Moulded within a culture of a healthy and active lifestyle these students can be expected remain fit to effectively deal with the challenges of shipboard life.

Advanced Programmes

While students enrolled in advanced programs are not expected to follow the same strict regimen, they are encouraged to participate in all campus activities. All students on campus are required to abide by the institute's rules of conduct on and off campus.
