Master's degree level - study lines and programmes in Maritime Engineering

Master's programme

Study line in Naval Architecture & Offshore Engineering

Learn methods to design, construct, test, and operate ships, offshore wind turbines, wave energy converters, and aquaculture facilities – while developing safe, cost-effective, and efficient structures with minimal adverse impacts on the local and global environments.

Master's programme

Industrial Engineering and Management - with a specialization in Supply Chain Management and Logistics

Specialize in the operational aspects within, e.g., the shipping industry, optimizing everything from supply chains, ports, routes, energy consumption, to decision-making procedures. In addition, you will consider the alternative fuels of the future and their impact on sustainable development.

Nordic Master

Maritime Engineering (Nordic Five Tech)

Study ships, including, yachts and offshore structures, their design, construction and operation and their interaction with the environment. You will learn about design, construction, and technical operation of ships and offshore structures — including hydrostatics and stability, hydrodynamics, wave and wind loads, propulsion, and structural analyses.
