Overview

Engineering - Ships and Marine Technology from Ghent University offers an advanced educational program focused on all floating systems or systems related to those. The goal is not to become a niche engineer but rather a broadly analytically educated (mechanical) engineer with additional specialized knowledge in ships and marine technology.

Key facts

Similar programs worldwide are sometimes described as naval architecture, which strongly suggests the idea of being a designer of ships which is only a part of this program. The term ocean engineering is also used for everything related to offshore systems, but it does not fully cover the scope either. This master's program clearly covers ships (both seagoing and inland vessels), but equally important are other floating systems (offshore aquaculture, floating solar panels, floating wind turbines, etc.), hence the inclusion of "and Marine Technology". Topics such as the construction, maneuvering, and seakeeping behavior of ships and other floating structures are covered, but so are more general subjects such as construction techniques, composites, Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), mechanical vibrations, engines, and other (turbo) machinery, which are integral parts of the program.
