The Nordic five tech master's in maritime engineering is based on the participating universities' expertise in naval architecture, offshore engineering and maritime engineering. Participants will profit from the Nordic five tech universities' long standing tradition and competence in the field and are enabled to focus on a specific area of expertise offered within the alliance.
About the programme
The education is based on the first principles within the design, construction and operation of the ship and offshore structures, including hydrostatics and stability, hydrodynamics, wave and wind loads and structural analyses. The teaching consists of lectures, assignments, workshops and project work. The theory is supported by experimental work and computer simulations are used intensively.
Study at two Nordic universities
Nordic five tech (N5T) is a strategic alliance of the five leading technical universities in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The alliance was established in November 2006 with the goal of utilizing the shared and complementary strengths and creating synergies within education, research and innovation.
You will get to study at two of the partner universities in different countries, spending one year at each one, and you will graduate with a double master’s degree. However, please note that it is not possible to study at both Swedish partner universities Chalmers university of technology and The royal institute of technology (KTH).
The universities participating in the Nordic five tech master's in Maritime engineering are:
- Aalto university, Finland
- Chalmers university of technology, Sweden
- Norwegian university of science and technology (NTNU), Norway
- Technical university of Denmark (DTU), Denmark
- The royal institute of technology (KTH), Sweden
Chalmers University of Technology participates in the following tracks:
- Ship design
The application process for this master's is administered by Aalto university. Read more about the study tracks for Maritime engineering (webpage at Aalto).
My favourite thing about this programme is the community – there is lots of support from lecturers, alumni, and the strong industry links at Chalmers
Application
The application has to be made to the university which is responsible for the specific programme. The application process and deadlines may vary for the different programmes. Make sure to read the information specified in each programme description. When you apply you must include a motivational letter.
Tuition Fees
Each of the participating universities have different terms and conditions regarding tuition fees. Please check what terms and conditions apply for each of the two universities where you will be studying.
Tuition fees at Chalmers
Scholarships
All Nordic five tech applicants who are required to pay tuition fees at Chalmers (regardless of their year of study) are eligible to apply for scholarships. All Nordic five tech master's applicants will receive an email at the end of March, or at the beginning of April with instructions regarding the scholarship application. Eligible applicants nominated by the Nordic five tech committee will receive a personal e-mail with instructions regarding the possibility to apply for a scholarship, in April. In the meantime, you are welcome to read about them. Take note, do not apply for a scholarship administered by Chalmers prior to receiving a personal e-mail with instructions.
