Subject and Objetives

How can we sustainably use our oceans? The international Master’s program in Sustainable Maritime Engineering addresses this critical question by combining engineering with the challenges of sustainability. Whether focusing on low-emission shipping, intelligent underwater robotics, or renewable energy generation from the oceans, the program provides the knowledge to develop innovative solutions for a sustainable maritime future.

The program is designed for individuals passionate about the ocean and future technologies, with a strong interest in environmental issues and sustainability. Creativity, desire for international collaboration, and a love for technology are ideal prerequisites.

Graduates of the program are highly sought-after professionals equipped to shape the future of the maritime industry. They are qualified to work in various sectors, including shipbuilding, marine engineering, energy production, and environmental technologies, in companies, research institutions, international organizations or academia.

Through partnerships with the Ocean Technology Campus, Fraunhofer, and the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde, the program offers unique opportunities. Students gain access to cutting-edge research facilities and practical projects, such as the artificial reef at Nienhagen. The program’s strong international focus, including a double-degree option with other European universities, makes it unique in Germany.

Program Structure

Start of studies in winter semester.
Start of studies in summer semester.

In addition to a comprehensive foundation in engineering, students can choose from three specializations:

  • Naval Architecture: Design of modern, low-emission ships
  • Ocean Engineering: Development of technical systems for marine applications, such as renewable energy generation.
  • Underwater Technologies: Intelligent systems and robotics for underwater applications, including deep-sea exploration.

The program emphasizes teamwork in international settings and the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world projects. Field trips, laboratory work, and access to modern research infrastructures, such as the research vessel Limanda, enhance practical learning.
