Training content

OBJECTIVES

Through this programme 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. The outstanding strength of this Master 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. Courses are taught in English across the entire programme.
This Master’s programme is accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education.

 

Faculty and Research Facilities

This Master relies on the faculties of Centrale Nantes and the Ecole Navale and the research facilities of the GeM Institute, the LHEEA Laboratory.

Partnerships

Our industrial partners are leading international companies involved in ship building, ship design, marine engine industry or ship operation such as Naval Group, Bureau Véritas, Hydrocean, CGG, Man Diesel, STX and Pôle Mer Bretagne – Bretagne Atlantique
