Deadline: February 1, 2024.

Not only in Europe but all around the world there is more need than ever for highly qualified engineers of all types of expertise. This is even more true in the globalized maritime and offshore market which is at the dawn of massive challenges and, luckily, opportunities. For which the energy transition (both for vessels and to create offshore energy for landbased locations) is only a single but important example. In order to fulfill this need, this two year master after bachelor program is proposed.

EMship, International Master in Advanced Design of Sustainable Ships and Offshore Structures, is an advanced two-year master’s level education programme (120 ECTS) in design and optimisation of ships and offshore structures dedicated to sustainable maritime transport, ships, offshore and renewable energy structures. Thanks to its strong background and complementary expertise, the EMship Consortium tackles: rapid technological evolution in the fields of naval architecture, maritime technology and offshore engineering, growing demand from companies for graduates with up-to-date competences and societal challenges related to global warming (need for energy saving, renewable energy sources, more efficient and less polluting means of transport…).

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

1. A prerequisite for admission is that applicants have a Bachelor degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years full-time study or 180 ECTS credits) in mechanical engineering, elektromechanical engineering, naval architecture, marine technology or a related discipline.
2. There is no nationality restriction. All applicants from all nationalities are welcome in the programme. Tuition fees and scholarships however, do depend on your nationality.
3. Students in their last year of such a study programme at the time of application will also be considered for admission (based on an official certificate of enrolment and most recent marks list). It is the applicant’s responsibility that the required degree is obtained prior to the start of the EMship programme.
4. EMship is an English taught programme and an English language proficiency is therefore a basic requirement (no need for any knowledge of the local language such as Dutch or Romanian).
5. Degree Legalisation
