Double Degree in Nautical Studies and Maritime Transport and in Marine Technologies

Curriculum Structure

The Double Degree in Nautical Studies and Maritime Transport and in Marine Technologies is organized as an integrated curriculum of five academic years and 327 ECTS credits. The program combines training in navigation, maritime transport, and ship operations management with technical knowledge related to marine machinery, energy, automation, and marine maintenance.

The curriculum is structured around a common scientific and technical foundation during the initial years, progressing towards complementary specialization in nautical and marine technology. It also includes mandatory external internships, maritime vocational training, and an integrative Final Degree Project for both degrees.
