Master of Product and System Design

Advanced maritime operations are at the centre of Western Norway’s shipping activities. The future for product and system design is unlimited. As a graduate of our programme you can look forward to below zero temperatures and challenging projects in northern regions and working in areas sensitive to environmental change. In Brazil offshore facilities are going to be installed several thousand metres below the surface of the ocean. How can such a project be successful? Safety and environmental considerations are also important challenges in all such operational endeavours.

The programme focuses on the design of ship-equipment and maritime systems. Automated and remote-controlled deck solutions are being developed to safeguard crews performing hazardous tasks. Robots, cranes and winches are used in these solutions that must address the complex interactions between operators.

Environmental requirements aiming for zero emissions present enormous challenges for new machinery and propulsion systems. New technology, advanced vessels, operational systems, and the innovative use of materials are combined in meeting today’s strict economic and environmental requirements. You can be a part of moulding the offshore-future with an advanced degree in product and system design.
