About the Programme
The main objective of the Master degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is to provide students with specialized training to design, build, maintain, repair, and manage all types of vehicles that operate in marine and inland waters for transportation, industrial operations, or leisure activities. It also covers fixed and floating structures for ocean resource exploration (such as oil and gas, offshore wind energy, wave energy, and aquaculture).
Other key areas include the planning and management of maritime and port operations, resulting from the integration of maritime transport into multimodal logistics and supply chains, as well as the design and maintenance of underwater systems.
This level of education is considered essential for the full professional practice of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, according to the qualification levels required by the Portuguese Association of Engineers.
The curriculum of the Master degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering consists of a common core and three alternative specialization profiles:
• Ship Design and Construction
• Maritime Transport and Ports
• Ocean Systems
Regardless of the chosen specialization, the programme provides a balance between specialized education through 3 specific course units within each profile and general education in the scientific area of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, offered through a common core of course units.
