The Master’s in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (Design and Construction of Naval Architecture & Ocean Structures) at Shanghai Maritime University is a three‑year, engineering graduate program that equips students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in the design, analysis, construction, and performance evaluation of maritime and ocean structures, including ships, offshore platforms, and related engineered systems. As part of the broader Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering discipline — one of SMU’s established engineering first‑level disciplines combining mechanical, structural, control, and marine technologies — the program covers core topics such as ship and ocean structure design, structural analysis, hydrodynamics, materials science, and marine environmental considerations, integrating theoretical study with hands‑on laboratory work and industry‑oriented projects. Graduates are prepared for technical and leadership careers in shipbuilding, offshore engineering, port and maritime industries, marine design consultancies, and government regulatory bodies where expertise in engineered naval architecture and ocean structures is essential. Shanghai’s status as a global maritime hub further enhances internship and employment opportunities.
