The main goal of this study specialization is to provide advanced education and graduate engineers qualified to work successfully in the field related to various aspects of ships. The students graduating from this study specialization shall have knowledge in ship geometry, hydrostatics and stability; ship structures and strength, including numerical methods in ship structural design; ship hydrodynamics (resistance, propulsion, manoeuvring and seakeeping); computer aided ship design; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to ship hydrodynamics; ship equipment and systems; high speed crafts; aero-hydrodynamics of sailing vessels; ship production; etc. They will be fully skilled for the design, construction, and/or repair of ships and boats, including: merchant ships (oil/gas tankers, cargo ships, bulk carriers, container ships), passenger/vehicle ferries, high speed craft, yachts (power boats and other recreational craft), various kinds of floating structures, etc.
