Programme & Registration

Maritime and marine module

The maritime module (9-13/9) covers the engineering side of blue growth for example blue energy, coastal engineering, etc. The marine module (16/9-20/9) tackles marine ecosystems and their societal benefits e.g. aquaculture, marine spatial planning, litter, etc.

National students and professionals are allowed to attend a single module*. For international students it is strongly recommended to follow the entire program. This allows a submersion in the cross-disciplinary philosophy of Blue Growth.

IIn every module lectures explicitly cross over: e.g. the maritime module includes lectures on environmental impact while in the marine module, lectures and an interactive session are provided on the topic of offshore multi-use platforms looking beyond mere biotic and abiotic monitoring and experiments seeking innovative ways to integrate marine and maritime functionalities and applications e.g. blue energy.
