The Nordic Master Programme in Maritime Engineering is based on the expertise of the participating universities within naval architecture, offshore engineering and maritime engineering. This programme targets international students wishing to profit from the Nordic Five Tech universities' long standing tradition and competence in the field and Nordic students wishing to specialise in a specific area of expertise offered within the alliance.
The main objective of this programme is to educate skilled engineers for industry and research institutions. The subject is multi-disciplinary with strong emphasis on systems engineering. A naval architect from this Maritime Engineering Programme will possess knowledge on the complete processes of design, implementation and operation of marine vessels which can include very large and complex systems, as well as deep understanding of subjects such as structural and fluid mechanics and related applications. The programme further provides students with experience from a second university during the second year of studies in which a specialisation in any of the study tracks Ocean Structures (NTNU), Passenger Ships (Aalto), Ship Design (Chalmers), Ship Operations (DTU), Small Craft (KTH) is undertaken. The course is thus relevant for students devoted to working in the maritime sector as well as for careers in other fields of engineering.
Career prospects
Maritime Engineering and Naval Architecture is an internationally well-established field of engineering, and consequently the employment market is global. Sweden leads in a number of fields such as innovation, technical development, ship design, ship operation and the building of high-technology ships and small craft. Significant international employment opportunities can be found in Norway, Denmark, Finland, UK, Germany, Italy and the large ship-building nations of Asia. The multi-disciplinary character of the subject and the curriculum of the programme also mean that this programme is relevant for employment in fields outside the maritime sector.
Contents
The Nordic Master Programme in Maritime Engineering is a two-year (120 higher education credits) Master Programme at advanced level (second cycle) starting every year in late August. The language of instruction is English. The programme is structured in two parts:
1. In Year1 focus is on general maritime engineering topics and naval architecture at Master's level: stability, resistance and propulsion, seakeeping, manoeuvring and ship and ocean structures.
2. In Year 2 students specialise in one of the five study tracks: Ocean Structures (NTNU), Passenger Ships (Aalto), Ship Design (Chalmers), Ship Operations (DTU), Small Craft (KTH). More information on the various tracks is given in Appendix A.
Thus students begin at one of the partner universities for Year 1 and complete their studies at another university for Year 2. A student who begins at KTH may not take the KTH study track in Year 2.
Degree project
Students admitted to the programme are required to carry out an independent study in the form of a thesis project corresponding to 30 higher education credits. Local rules for the degree project may vary depending on choice of university for Year 2. Students in Year 2 at KTH must have completed at least 60 higher education credits of the total course in order to be able to begin their project. The purpose of the thesis project is that the student should demonstrate their ability to carry out independent project.
