Bachelor in Maritime Science and Technology

Tuition comes to 3,695 USD per year.

Maritime Science and Technology is a bachelor's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Genova in Genova, Italy, over three years. This program belongs to the field of maritime studies, covering the scientific and technical knowledge required to understand ships, ports, and maritime operations. Students typically study naval architecture, marine engineering, and nautical science, alongside subjects covering oceanography, maritime transport, and the operational and technical aspects of ships and port systems. Coursework often addresses topics such as ship design and construction, marine propulsion systems, and the logistics of maritime transport, giving students a grounding in both the engineering and operational dimensions of the maritime sector. Because maritime science and technology draws on physics, engineering, and environmental science, students develop an understanding of how vessels are designed and operated, as well as how maritime activity interacts with ports, trade routes, and marine environments. Graduates of this field commonly pursue careers in the maritime and shipping industry, including roles in ship design, marine engineering, port operations, and maritime logistics. Others move into positions with shipping companies, classification societies, or maritime regulatory bodies, or into further technical training toward careers at sea or in maritime technical management. The degree can also provide a foundation for further study at the master's level in maritime engineering or related fields. Based in Genova, a city with a long history as a major Italian port, and delivered entirely in English, the program is designed for students interested in the technical and operational side of the maritime industry.
