The Master’s program in Marine System Engineering at Osaka Metropolitan University is offered within the Graduate School of Engineering under the Aerospace-Ocean Systems Engineering division, specifically in the Marine System Engineering field of study. This graduate course builds upon core engineering foundations to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills for understanding, designing, and innovating marine systems that interact with the ocean environment, including ship and offshore structures, marine transport systems, autonomous vessels, ocean resource systems, and environmental monitoring technologies. The educational mission is to integrate principles from marine transport and structural engineering, fluid dynamics, control systems, and environmental science to address sustainable development and harmonious human-ocean coexistence, training students to become highly capable engineers and researchers. The program includes both advanced coursework and individual research under faculty supervision, with research groups covering areas such as marine transport engineering, marine structural engineering, marine planning and autonomous systems, marine environmental information engineering, and advanced marine systems, enabling students to pursue specialized topics and complete an independent master’s thesis. Graduates are prepared for careers in marine engineering industries, research institutions, and related sectors where comprehensive problem-solving and innovative design skills are essential.
