Modules are taught by teams involved in maritime operations. The modules are one-week, intensive courses, which are a part of a post qualifying education. Qualified lecturers come from all over the world. Some course module examples are:ships and systems for cold regions, advanced marine operations, interaction between man and machine, design of product families, Lean Design, design and branding, modularisation, and Human Factors.
The first year is made up of 6 subjects and 8 modules. Each subject is scheduled for a given day of the week. This scheduling makes part-time study possible, where one can spend, for example, one or two days a week at Aalesund University College. Each module is taught intensively over a one week period.
The second year includes more specialized studies, including projects and a master’s thesis. Much of the programme is linked to industrial issues.
Part-time study programmes provide unique opportunities for combining theory and practice. Students who are employed can also include assignments initiated by their employer. Projects or problems relevant to the company can be linked to theoretical concepts in the course. Alesund
University College can arrange relevant contacts in industry for students.
