Aims

The vocational undergraduate study program in Naval Architecture, based on a project‑oriented teaching approach, is focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of small craft. The aim of the program is to train specialists capable of performing more advanced operational and technical tasks in the projects stages for small vessels, yachts, boats, and other related craft.

The program provides students with applied knowledge necessary for active participation in the planning, preparation, optimization, and supervision of design, construction, and maintenance processes for small craft, with particular emphasis on modern technologies and the practical application of acquired skills. Students who wish to continue their studies may do so at institutions offering professional graduate programs in naval architecture. It is also possible to continue to the university Master’s degree program in Naval Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka, subject to the specific admission requirements determined by the Faculty Council.
