About the course
We have a wide educational offer including construction of ships and floating vessels as well as the exploration of the sea and ocean resources. It was designed in line with the current market demands, containing the issues connected with the construction of small ships, yachts, littoral and in-land vessels, maintenance of the drilling rigs, etc., as well as issues connected with the technologies employed in ship overhauls and repairs. We teach our students to build ships, starting from the smallest yachts and fishing boats to the largest supertankers and large passenger vessels.
Future employment possibilities
Our graduates recieve education that allows them to find employment in companies operating in widely-understood marine economy such as small construction and overhaul shipyards, companies cooperating with ship-building industry, construction and design bureaus, ship owner companies, technical supervision and marine administration units, ship industry R&D units, institutions dealing with sea and ocean exploration. Our graduates are employed in shipyards of various types and sizes, ship-equipment producers, natural resources exploration companies, off-shore wind farm companies, construction and design bureaus associated with ship-building industry, research and development units, consulting bureaus, classification and qualification institutions, marine administration and international ship and marine institutions.
Outline of the curriculum
Studies last three terms (with the exception of courses conducted in English that last 4 terms). There are three specialties conducted at courses in Polish - two of them assiciated with ships and one separate (Subsea Technologies). After the first term the students select one of two specialties: Designing ships and ocean-technology devices or Exploration of Sea and Ocean Resources. After the first tem the students also select the diploma profiles which continue throughout 2nd and 3rd termt in a given specialty. Third term is dedicated to the diploma thesis.
Recruitment for the Subsea Technologies specialty is conducted separately. The specialty is realized in a separate course, since the curriculum includes, among others, advanced numerical engineering calculations applied in designing Subsea devices and systems. Students will be able to gain valuable experience during their apprenticeship in General Electric plant and during writing their diploma theses in co-operation with the patron of the specialty. The graduates will have preference in employment by the GE units worldwide.
There is only one specialty in courses conducted in English: Ocean Engineering with two diploma profiles: Ship Technology and Offshore Engineering as well as Marine Engineering and Offshore Energy. Selection of the preferred profile takes place during recruitment.
Speciaties
- Design of ships and off-shore devices:
The specialty includes the following diploma profiles: yachts, sea vessels and off-shore devices, ship systems and equipment. A graduate has knowledge on designing ships, yachts, ship power systems, ship systems and equipment. - Exploration of sea and ocean resources:
The specialty includes the following diploma profiles: exploration of mineral resources, off-shore energy production, exploration of living resources. A graduate has knowledge on construction and operation of ships, objects connected with widely understood exploration of the sea and ocean resources. - Subsea Technologies:
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology at Gdańsk Tech, in coopertion with General Electric Poland opens a new specialty "Subsea Technologies" at the 2nd degree study course. The specialty shall be conducted in English. After graduating, the graduates will be ready to work in design bureaus, in industry, and R&D centers dealing with technologies used in exploration of energy resources of seas and oceans, especially in the seabed and at large depths. It is one of the new and fast-developing innovative trends in world economy.
Second degree course, Ocean Engineering
Qualifications of the graduates
A graduate gains an advanced general technical knowledge and skills necessary to use it in design, construction, overhauls and operation of ships, off-shore objects and systems used in marine economy. They are ready to carry out design and construction works in ocean engineering; conduct science and research in this area, manage the production, operation and overhauls of ships and off-shore vessels, they are ready to work in an international team. Our graduates are employed in shipyards of various types and sizes, ship-equipment producers, natural resources exploration companies, off-shore wind farm companies, construction and design bureaus associated with ship-building industry, research and development units, consulting bureaus, classification and qualification institutions, marine administration and international ship and marine institutions. A graduate should have the ability to continuously improve his eductaion and professional development and be ready to undertakie research challenges and embark on the 3rd degree (PhD) course.
The curriculum includes, among others, advanced numerical engineering calculations applied in designing Subsea devices and systems. Students will be able to gain valuable experience during their apprenticeship in General Electric plant and during writing their diploma theses in co-operation with the patron of the specialty. The graduates will have preference in employment by the GE units worldwide.
