MSc Marine Technology Atlantic Master on Ship Operation & Naval Engineering (M-TECH AMASONE)

Progamme Objectives

Through this specialism in Marine Technology students will develop skills in naval engineering to become engineers experienced in ship operations.

Two of the top French Technical Universities (Ecole Navale in Lanvéoc-Poulmic and Centrale Nantes) have teamed up to offer you a unique programme in Marine Technology. The outstanding strength of this MSc programme is that you will have on-board training sessions on French Navy vessels. The insight gained into on-board practices, use of complex equipment and immersion into rapidly evolving knowledge and techniques is highly valuable for a naval engineer, and of course, highly regarded by industrial employers.

The programme of study lasts two academic years - denoted by M1 and M2 and is taught in English. It comprises three study semesters followed by a paid Master's thesis / internship in the final semester. The M1 year is taughtwholly on the Centrale Nantes campus. Students will move to the Ecole Navale site in Lanvéoc-Poulmic near Brest for the first semester of the M2 year.

Our Master's programmes in Marine Technology are fully accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

Examples of previous internships:

CMA CGM: Container maintenance and repair assistant
Naval Group: Dynamic analysis of shaft lines
Saipem SA: Installation methods in Subsea Engineering Team
Chantiers de l'atlantique (shipyard): Contingency management in an offshore substation production workshop

NB Internships undertaken in France are strictly regulated and are only open to current full-time students of an accredited educational institution. Interns are entitled to all the rights guaranteed to regular employees (such as social protection and redress mechanisms). For internships that exceed two months in duration a minimum level of remuneration is set by the government, at approximately €600 per month. In some professional branches, this amount may be higher.

Skills Developed

* Model and understand the concepts of naval hydrodynamics
* Master the energetic and propulsion systems on ships
* Integrate the human and technical constraints of operational maritime implementation

In addition to the above specialism-specific skills, students will also develop more general skills:

* Identify models, perform simulation and analyse results
* Communicate comprehensive results in a meaningful way
* Undertake bibliographic surveys of international research and professional literature
* Manage or be part of a project
