Marine Technology Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Overview

During the Marine Technology programme of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), MT engineers acquire a thorough understanding of basic engineering sciences and marine technology disciplines, and develop multidisciplinary problem-solving skills. As a participant in the programme, you will also select an area of expertise from topics such as ship hydromechanics, ship and offshore structures, marine systems design and ship production, and will consider the various social and environmental impacts associated with marine technology applications.

Designs for the high seas

In years past, there was hardly any job more hazardous than to sail the seas. These days, we take it for granted that cargo ships can safely navigate the seas – largely because of technological advances in marine technology. These same technologies make it possible to extract oil from the seabed and load it on to a tanker in high winds and heavy seas. If you are intrigued by the technologies that allow for the construction of highly complex modern ships, the exploitation of mineral wealth on the seabed, and other achievements of marine technology, TU Delft’s unique master’s programme may be just the programme for you.

The Master’s programme Marine Technology offers five specialisations:

• Ship and Offshore Structures (structural aspects of ships and other maritime craft)
• Ship Hydromechanics (hydromechanics for maritime engineers)
• Marine Engineering (design and operation of systems on board ships)
• Ship Design (integrating all different aspects of successful ship design)
• Maritime Operations and Management (economic and legal aspects of MT as well as ship production)
