The following Schools of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA): Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Electrical and Computer Engineering; Rural, Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineering; Applied Mathematics and Natural Sciences; Civil Engineering; the Physics Department of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), and the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR), offer jointly a Postgraduate Program (MSc) in Ship and Marine Technology. The Program is administered by the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering of NTUA.

The Program’s content accounts for 90 ECTS credits and leads to the award of a Postgraduate Specialization Diploma that is equivalent to a Master of Science degree. It is arranged in three (3) academic semesters of full-time study, beginning in September. To graduate, a student should attend successfully 12 taught courses and also write and defend a thesis. The maximum allowed duration of study is 2 years. Graduates of this Program are welcomed to apply for admission to a program of doctoral study at any of the collaborating Schools.

The Program is open to graduates of Greek Universities and of recognized foreign universities which offer degrees equivalent to those of NTUA, in accordance with the provisions of the Greek Law 4957/2022. In particular, applications are welcomed from NΤUA and other engineering graduates, as well as from graduates of Physics, Mathematics and related subjects. Interested final-year university students expecting to graduate by September 2025 are also encouraged to apply.

For admission, the following criteria will be taken into account:

• The overall grade of the candidate’s undergraduate degree (it should be higher than 6/10 or equivalent);

The maximum number of admitted students, following their positive evaluation by the Program Committee, is 40.

The Postgraduate Specialization Program in Ship and Marine Technology participates in the internationalization of postgraduate studies project of NTUA entitled “Support for Actions of Internationalization of Higher Education”, financed by the European Social Fund and belonging to the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF). The main aim of the project is to facilitate the participation of students from abroad.

The Program is currently in transition to using English as the language of instruction. In the student selection criteria, the knowledge of the English language will be counted with increased weight.
