Design solutions for ocean cleanup
Take your engineering skills to the next level by participating in a master's programme where you will work on real-life engineering challenges for an autonomous system prototype aimed at cleaning the ocean.
Join a dynamic group of aspiring engineers and earn a master's degree in technology, all while making a tangible impact on the environment
This hands-on master's programme, with a focus on naval architecture, offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry partners and a costumer to develop a full-scale prototype.
In this master's programme, you get to solve actual engineering problems for a real prototype product. You get to address a challenge in our society and solve all engineering tasks from designing the hull to ensure that the collected plastic is recycled.
You will be part of a project group with a given engineering domain based on your interests. The project works closely with a customer and the supplier industry to adapt existing technology, develop new solutions, and integrate everything. You don't get any closer to entrepreneurship and working life.
