Programme
The Master’s programme Marine Technology offers five specialisations:
Ship and Offshore Structures (structural aspects of ships and other maritime
craft)
Ship Hydromechanics (hydromechanics for maritime engineers)
Marine Engineering (design and operation of systems on board ships)
Ship Design (integrating all different aspects of successful ship design)
Maritime Operations and Management (economic and legal aspects of MT as
well as ship production)
A student can graduate within or “in between” these different research groups, as
some questions require a mono-disciplinary approach and some a more multi-
disciplinary approach.
Each group consists of several faculty members, who all have their own in-depth
speciality. Thus there are a lot of (maritime) topics to choose from and you are able
to combine in-depth study of technical subjects with logistics, technical marketing,
management, safety and/or sustainability.
Each research discipline has its own focus; at the same time the boundaries
between the subjects of each group are not always clear and there is good synergy
between the groups. In many cases faculty members from two groups will work
together on a research project, each bringing their own unique knowledge to the
table. Students are challenged to use the master courses to find out which maritime
topics truly interests and motivates them, enabling the creation of their own
specialisation and thesis project around these topics.
