The Nordic Master in Maritime Engineering (NMME) is based on the expertise of the participating universities within naval architecture, offshore engineering and maritime engineering. The 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. Member institutions of Nordic Five Tech are:

• Aalto University
• Chalmers University of Technology
• Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
• Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)
• Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Study programme

NMME is based on first principles within the design, construction and operation of ships and offshore structures, including their hydrostatics and stability, hydrodynamics, wave and wind loads and structural analyses. Teaching comprises lectures, assignments, workshops and project work. Theory is supported by experimental work and computer simulations are used intensively.

The programme is organised in two parts:

In your first year, you study master's-level topics within maritime engineering, naval architecture and offshore engineering: stability, resistance and propulsion, sea keeping, and ship and ocean structures. If you did not study naval architecture as part of your bachelor's degree, you will also have basic introductory courses in naval architecture. In addition to maritime engineering courses, you will take courses on general and special engineering competences, such as CFD, structural analysis, composite materials, etc. The emphasis in each subject will depend on the university and your entrance qualifications.

In the second year, you study your chosen specialisation: ocean structures, passenger ships, ship design, ship operations or small craft. Each subject defines a study track.

Study tracks

The five study tracks are defined below, with the partner university responsible for the track given in parentheses.

• Ocean Structures (NTNU)
• Passenger Ships (Aalto University)
• Ship Design (Chalmers)
• Ship Operations (DTU)
• Small Craft (KTH)
