The International Master’s Program in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at Kyushu University is a two-year English-taught postgraduate program offered by the Graduate School of Engineering that focuses on developing advanced knowledge and research competencies in ship design, marine structures, and ocean engineering technologies. The curriculum integrates specialised coursework and laboratory-based research in areas such as ship and offshore structure design, hydrodynamics, marine propulsion, structural mechanics, naval architecture, and ocean system engineering, enabling students to analyse, design, and optimise vessels and offshore structures for safety, performance, and environmental sustainability. Emphasising computational modelling, experimental testing, and interdisciplinary engineering methodologies, students undertake supervised academic research and complete a Master’s thesis that contributes to innovations in naval architecture and ocean engineering, preparing graduates for careers in maritime industries, shipbuilding companies, offshore engineering firms, research institutions, and advanced marine technology sectors.
