About

Take your engineering skills to the next level by participating in a master's programme where you will work on real-life engineering challenges for an autonomous system prototype aimed at cleaning the ocean. Learn more with the master’s degree in Product and System Design at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

Overview

Join a dynamic group of aspiring engineers and earn a master's degree in technology, all while making a tangible impact on the environment

This hands-on master's programme offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry partners and a costumer to develop a full-scale prototype.

What will you learn? 

In this master’s degree in Product and System Design at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), you get to solve actual engineering problems for a real prototype product. You get to address a challenge in our society and solve all engineering tasks from designing the hull to ensure that the collected plastic is recycled.

You will be part of a project group with a given engineering domain based on your interests. The project works closely with a customer and the supplier industry to adapt existing technology, develop new solutions, and integrate everything. You don't get any closer to entrepreneurship and working life.

What can you become? 

Engineers with a master in product and system engineering related to the ocean and maritime systems have the world as their workplace. You get to work with the major challenges the oceans are facing today, and maybe you find a piece in the puzzle for cleaner and healthier oceans.

You can work in all engineering domains related to maritime technology. Jobs range within design, engineering, operations, maintenance as well as management, finance, insurance and governments.
