General Description

History

Marine Engineering Department (ME) was founded in 2006 as part of the School of Maritime Business and Management. The Department of ME started its undergraduate program in the academic year of 2006-2007. In 2009, the name of the School of Maritime Business and Management turned into Maritime Faculty. Department of Marine Engineering master's degree program in Maritime Transportation Systems Engineering Programme was founded in the academic year 2012-2013.
Marine Transportation Systems Engineering Master programme plays leadership role in the planning, application and management of the marine transport ability of maritime companies in global markets by integrating the fields of engineering, logistics, transportation, machinery, environmental and marine technologies engineering. The aim of this programme is to educate competent engineers in the field of innovation, R&D and technologic innovation in marine transportation.
It's aimed to presented people who skilled in this subject and support to scientific research with Marine Transportation Systems Engineering Doctorate degree beggining from the academic year of 2016-2017.

Qualification Awarded

Ph. D. in Marine Transportation Systems Engineering

Level of Qualification

In addition to the compulsory courses of the programme, students register to elective courses appropriate for their thesis topic, on the consent of their supervisor. If necessary, on the consent of their supervisor, they can also register to courses from other programmes (from DEU or other universities). It is obligatory to register MAT5101 Applied Mathematics (3 0 0), in the case of that course taken during the M.Sc. education, that is not obligatory. The registration must be noticed to the Institute during course registration period by the supervisor.
