Description

The Master program in Maritime Engineering is concentrated on ships, including, yachts and offshore structures, their design, construction and operation and their interaction with the environment.

You learn to apply rational methods within mathematics, numeric analyses, fluid mechanics and structural mechanics to analyze, design and technically operate ships and offshore structures. Moreover, you will understand the special, high demands to these structures for instance with respect to safety and consideration for the environment.

Language of instruction

The language of instruction of the programme is English.

Tuition fees and scholarships

Fees

You will be paying fees and charges directly to the university where you are enrolled. The fee will correspond to the fee level of that university.

Currently Aalto, Chalmers and DTU charge fees to non-EU/EEA students. NTNU charges no fees to Nordic Master students!

Structure of studies

The programme is structured in two parts:

1. In the first year (Entry), you learn topics of maritime engineering, naval architecture and offshore engineering on Master level: stability, resistance and propulsion, seakeeping, manoeuvring and ship and ocean structures. If you did not have naval architecture as part of your bachelors’ programme, you will also have basic introductory courses in naval architecture. In addition to maritime engineering courses, you must do courses on general and special engineering competences, such as CFD, structural analysis, composite materials etc. The emphasis on each subject will depend on the entrance university and your entrance qualifications. In particular Aalto but also NTNU offer elective courses in Arctic maritime engineering as part of the curricula
2. In the second year(Exit), you specialize in one of the four subjects: ocean structures, passenger ships, ship design and ship operations . Each of the subjects defines a study track. The subject of your thesis must be wituin the study track.

It is required that you start at one of the partner universities for part 1 and finish your studies at another university for part 2.

Specialisations

Ocean Structures (NTNU)

This study track gives you a strong foundation for design of any type of ocean structure, from conventional ships to offshore structures. It also deals with marine operations like pipelaying, towing and use of cranes on mobile platforms for installation of subsea modules. The study track is discipline based and includes groups of courses within marine environment, environmental loads, effects of loads, structural capacity and marine cybernetics.

Passenger Ships (Aalto)

This study track gives comprehensive overview of the different aspects related to the design, analysis and optimization of passenger ships. The conflicting interests of various stakeholders (passenger, ship owner, shipyard) will be addressed during the studies, and you will be forced to create a solution that satisfies the stakeholder's preferences.

Ship Design (Chalmers)

In this study track, you will be part of a project team and work with a problem oriented and realistic ship-design project with a company from the maritime industry as the “customer”. You will be part of a student team guided by professional engineers from industry and faculty members from Chalmers. The initial design process prior to an order of a new ship is covered during the project following the demands of the customer. The project will take place during the second year and you will utilize and link together knowledge from all the marine engineering courses of the first year.

Ship Operations (DTU)

In popular terms the definition of this study track is that it mainly deals with naval architecture and maritime engineering from the point of view of the ship owner, i.e. it deals with ships at sea. You will learn to apply rational methods in analysing and optimizing the performance of ships (container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, ro-ro ships etc.) with respect to safety, efficiency, economics and environmental considerations.

Internationalisation

The staff involved in the programme is active in research and has published numerous papers in internationally acknowledged journals as well as several text books for graduate students. Furthermore, several members of the staff are involved in international cooperation within research and development projects, financed for instance by the European Union.

The education includes lectures, seminars, and a large amount of project work. It is given in close connection to different companies which enables visits, guest lectures and sharp project work.

All universities are well equipped with data bars and other computing facilities making it possible to include numerical simulation in the learning process and in this way to prepare you for your future work in industry or science.

Besides, each partner university has special facilities:

Further study opportunities

Nordic Masters in Maritime Engineering is considered a great foundation for doctoral studies and post-doc positions.

Career opportunities

A NMME graduate will typically be employed as a naval architect or offshore engineer by consultancies, design officers, ship owners, maritime administrations, offshore companies, classification societies or suppliers of special equipment. The roles in the enterprise may be those of chief executive, development manager, team manager, consultant, specialist, or researcher.

Research focus

Marine and Arctic Technology

We focus on the behaviour of ships and structures in normal and extreme environments. We do our research by considering the safety of maritime transportation, as well as the experiences the marine environment can offer to cruise vessel passengers.

Co-operation with other parties

have very high academic standards and are amongst the top international technical universities. The universities provide excellent opportunities for students to pursue their specific academic interest. By pooling resources through the Nordic Five Tech collaboration we are able to offer world-class facilities in the respective universities’ areas of excellence
