Coastal And Marine Engineering And Management

The CoMEM MSc course is taught at five European universities:

• NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
• Delft Technical University, Delft, The Netherlands
• UPC, Barcelona, Spain
• City University, London, United Kingdom
• University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom

The first year comprises two semesters of 30 ECTS each (course and project work), which will be spent at NTNU,Trondheim and Delft University respectively. This year provides academic and social coherence through a choice of compulsory and optional courses. It will establish a broad common foundation and prepare you for your final year.

For the first half of the second year (one semester of 30 ECTS course and project work), three main routes with a particular emphasis are offered: either in environmental engineering at UPC, Barcelona, Spain, in environment and management at City University, London, or in business and management at the University of Southampton, Southampton, both in the United Kingdom. The third semester allows for specialisation in one of these three subjects. In the fourth and final semester, you will complete your master’s thesis at one of the three universities where you have studied previously.

Fourth and final semester
The fourth semester is designed for doing your thesis work. Depending on whether you want to further specialize or broaden your CoMEM knowledge, you can chose to stay at your third semester university or return to either Delft or Trondheim. You can do your thesis work at university, a knowledge institution, a governmental institution or at a company.
