Marine Technology (advanced minor)

The Marine Technology Minor offers students good overall knowledge of the engineering aspects related to marine environment. The main contents is to introduce design aspects related to environment, marine structures, transport and related systems and sub-systems. The studies cover design, manufacturing and operational aspects. The studies are build around expertise of each student by utilization of portfolio- and project-based teaching methods.

Target group: Students from other Master’s Programmes at Aalto.

Mechanical engineering, Materials engineering and  Information and Communication Technology master level degree students from University of Turku  have 10 students quota. They can apply to this minor by filling in an application form. Applicants are required to submit a transcript of records and a motivation letter with their application. There is a separate submission link in the application form.
