Coastal and Marine Civil Engineering (MSCOASTMAR)

Are you interested in the coast?  Would you like to develop the necessary knowledge for building infrastructure, protecting the environment, creating value, and using coastal resources safely and efficiently?

This Master of Science degree programme in Coastal and Marine Civil Engineering is a two year graduate study programme which integrates Norwegian and foreign students. As such, all lectures are conducted in English. Each course yields 7.5 ECTS credits.On completion of the programme, graduates are awarded the title Master of Science.

How to apply?

This programme is not open for admissions for the fall 2012. For those who choose to seek admission to similar programmes, please note the varying application deadlines and procedures.

Norwegian / Nordic applicants: The programme is not open for Norwegian/Nordic applicants. If you are a Norwegian/Nordic applicant you should instead apply for the two year Norwegian study programme in Civil and Environmental Engineering, through which one may choose the same subjects as in this International master's programme and obtain the same specialization.

Emphasis

While the first year of the study consists of basic compulsory and optional courses on graduate level, the second year provides a specialization in Marine Civil Engineering through a specialization project and course. In addition one completive course must be chosen. The specialization is supplemented by a non-technical course. In order to best prepare participants for a role in the value-generative and sustainable development of the coastal and northern regions, the curriculum emphasizes the following areas of activity:

• describing the physical marine environment (wind, waves, current and ice)
• effects of load from the marine environment and load effects on the coast and coastal structures
• the development of coastal and harbour infrastructure
• arctic marine civil engineering.
