Master’s Degree in Naval Engineering

The Master's Degree in Naval Engineering is a two-year course of the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II. The areas covered are naval architecture, construction and naval systems engineering. The page does not list the individual courses or the credits. The naval sector requires skills in structural design, hydrodynamics, systems and safety, which in practice are applied to very different kinds of vessel. The course addresses these topics in their main components, that is architecture, construction and systems engineering, and links them to design activities, which make it possible to apply theoretical knowledge in a concrete way.

The course takes place in person in Naples and includes design and laboratory activities. An internship is included, but the page does not state its duration. The language is not declared and Italian is presumed. Price and start date are not stated. The presence of laboratories and a design activity indicates teaching oriented towards engineering practice. The internship period also offers direct contact with the world of work, although the page does not state its duration. To learn about courses, credits and the organisation of the year the university's study plan must be consulted.

The course trains engineers for the naval sector. The career opportunities mentioned concern shipbuilding, design firms, certification bodies, shipowners, public administration and research and development. Admission requires a first-level degree in Naval Engineering or an equivalent qualification. The aim is to train engineers able to find a place in shipbuilding, in design firms, in certification bodies and with shipowners, but also in public administration and in research and development. To be admitted a bachelor's degree in Naval Engineering or a qualification recognised as equivalent is required. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
