School of Research

Ph.D. in Marine Engineering typically spans 3 - 5 years and focuses on advanced research and innovation in marine systems, naval architecture, and offshore engineering. This program includes coursework in fluid dynamics, marine propulsion, and sustainable practices, combined with hands-on research opportunities. Students engage in projects related to ship design, marine structures, and environmental impacts, often collaborating with industry partners and research institutions. The program culminates in a dissertation that contributes original knowledge to the field. Graduates pursue careers in academia, research, marine consultancy, or within the maritime industry, addressing critical challenges in marine technology and sustainability.

Ph.D. in Nautical Science is an advanced research program focusing on maritime studies, navigation, ship operations, and marine engineering. Typically lasting 3 - 5 years, this program requires students to conduct original research and contribute to knowledge in areas such as maritime safety, marine environment management, and ship technology. Coursework may include advanced navigation techniques, marine policy, and ship design. Candidates often engage in practical experiences through internships or collaborations with maritime organizations. A Ph.D. in Nautical Science prepares graduates for academic positions, maritime industry leadership roles, and research positions in governmental and non-governmental organizations related to marine affairs.

 Ph.D. in Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering lasts 3-5  years and focuses on advanced research and innovation in the design, construction, and maintenance of marine vessels and offshore platforms. This curriculum covers a variety of topics, including hydrodynamics, structural analysis, marine systems engineering, and the environmental impact of maritime operations. Candidates complete rigorous coursework and do original research, which helps to develop ship design, stability, and safety. Graduates frequently pursue positions in academia, the marine industry, and research institutions, where they use their knowledge to solve challenging problems in naval design and offshore engineering.

Ph.D. in Marine Science is a research-intensive program that focuses on understanding oceanic and coastal ecosystems, including their biological, chemical, physical, and geological processes. The curriculum, which typically lasts 3-5 years, covers a wide range of topics, including marine biology, oceanography, marine ecology, marine pollution, climate change's impact on marine environments, and conservation science. Students do innovative research on issues such as marine biodiversity, coral reef ecosystems, ocean circulation, marine biogeochemistry, and sustainable fisheries management. Graduates frequently work in academia, environmental research groups, government agencies (such as NOAA), marine conservation NGOs, or enterprises related to ocean exploration and resource management. Admission normally needs a Master's degree in marine science, oceanography, environmental science, or a related discipline, along with good research and analytical skills.
