The purpose of the establishment and the activity range was determined as follows:
* Marine Geology and Geophysics seabed with the possibility of economic mineral deposits and petroleum research and technology
* Marine discharges and technology in terms of marine chemistry and environmental engineering
* Physical oceanography and marine mechanics, wave mechanics
* Coastal and coastal structures engineering and technology
* Marine mapping and bathymetry
* Marine equipment technology
* Marine technology and economics of the legal issues related to it
* Marine structures and technology

Profile of the Programme

This program, acquires theoretical knowledge on topics such as ship-building technology, ancient seafaring, shipbuilding typology of ancient, ancient harbors, as well as aiming to carry out the training of specialists navigation, sea, underwater and laboratory studies. In addition to the practical work done by diving underwater, acoustic seabed surveys, biological observations, an interdisciplinary study, including techniques and methods, such as shipbuilding, marine mapping of underwater cultural heritage, conservation and management issues with experts and scholars in this field are intended to fulfill the the lacking qualified human resources.

Research and work issues;
* Determination of vessels sunk in ancient times,
* Old age determination of maritime trade routes,
* Old age and the flooding of ports remaining parts of the examination,
* Determination of underwater archaeological and natural protected areas,
* Archaeology, marine geophysics, history, geography, marine biology, ship technology, multi-disciplinary projects in areas such as production,
* Current computer programs, to create a data bank of information necessary for the processing, mapping, charting, and conservation,
* International standard techniques of underwater excavation and research.

Past cultures and the related cultural change in trade routes in the most striking manner that takes place in our country, a long coastline is the most important center in the world in terms of underwater cultural heritage. The discovery of underwater cultural wealth is of great importance in many respects. Black, Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean cultures, all
together, we can find traces of a single piece of land in our country, given that in our region, as well as maritime history emerges as a unique resource for the history of humanity.
