Program Overview

Master of Science (MSc) in Ocean Engineering

The Master of Science in Ocean Engineering is a two-year graduate program with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points. The overarching aim of the education is to provide candidates with science-based engineering skills for sustainable development of the blue economy.

Study Programme

The program covers a wide range of courses in areas such as offshore energy, shipping, fisheries, marine spatial planning, and coastal engineering. The study program integrates these into a set of highly valued competences. Students will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both Danish and international companies, either as part of the courses, as an individual project, or while writing their thesis.

Specializations

The MSc in Ocean Engineering offers a high degree of flexibility in the students' individual study plan. Students can design their own study programme and career by choosing from a wide range of courses offered, with emphasis on areas such as:

• Applied Ocean Technology
• Oceanography

Career

The Ocean Engineering program provides candidates with a unique set of components that are highly sought after in various marine engineering sectors. These competences include knowledge of the physical challenges in constructing offshore installations, developing technologies for both surface and underwater observations, describing and modeling interactions with the natural marine environment, and the ability to evaluate the sustainability of engineering activities across a broad range of metrics.

Admission

Admission to the program is possible with a bachelor's degree from Denmark or outside of Denmark.

Industry Master of Science

The program is also available as an industry master's program, combining part-time study with a part-time job. This provides an opportunity to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings and build a strong foundation for future careers.
