Specializations - Ocean Engineering
Specializations
A Master of Science in Engineering (Ocean Engineering) can choose a specialization in either Oceanography of Applied Ocean Technology
The MSc in Ocean Engineering has two focus areas. These are fixed programmes of study that have extra high requirements to the choice of courses and projects compared to the general MSc programme.
- Oceanography
- Applied Ocean Technology
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
Specialization in Oceanography
This specialization focuses on an integrated understanding of the physics chemistry and ecology of the worlds oceans, how these are being impacted by global change, its role in global climate and how it is impacted by the developing blue economy. This specialization provides the scientific basis for sustainable development in the marine environment.
All mandatory courses under polytechnic foundations and the programme specific courses must be completed. In addition, to fulfil the requirements for this specialisation, a candidate must complete at least 15 additional ects form the following:

| 25344 | Environmental effects of maritime activities | 5 | point | Spring F4A (Tues 13-17) |
Specialization in Applied Ocean Technology
This specialization focuses on the technological challenges posed by the developing blue economy, e.g. offshore construction, observation technology, and how these impact the marine environment.
All mandatory courses under polytechnic foundations and the programme specific courses must be completed. In addition, to fulfil the requirements for this specialization, a candidate must complete at least 15 additional ects form the following:
