Universities & Education Institutions
Aarhus School of Marine and Technical Engineering
Since its establishment in 1896 Aarhus School of Marine and Technical Engineering has been an integral part of life in Aarhus. The school is situated on the waterfront of Aarhus within easy reach of the port of Aarhus, our numerous industry partners and local educational institutions. We are the largest Marine Engineering School in Denmark with approximately 1,000 students attending our 4½ year Bachelor Programme.
We take great pride in our high educational standards, our accredited status and our dynamic and maritime learning environment. We value our close connection with our students and continually support an array of social activities for both students and staff.
The Marine and Technical Engineer is responsible for the operation and maintenance of an array of different technical facilities. These technical facilities can be found both offshore and onshore – aboard ships, in plants and factories – as well as in the sustainable energy sector. The primary task of the Marine and Technical Engineer is to ensure that the technical facilities and installations operate at an optimal level in respect of safety, operating economies and the environment.
One of our 8. Semester elective is the Energy – Technology and Management course, which include subjects such as Bio Energy, Optimization of an Energy system, Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Efficiency and Offshore Oil Drilling and Oil Production.
Another one of our 8. Semester elective is the STCW course, which include subjects such as Ship Building and Stability, Ship Propulsion, Fire Fighting, Sea Rescue, Watch Keeping as well as Maintenance, English, Foreign Culture, Shipping and Seamen’s Law.
University of Southern Denmark
The University of Southern Denmark celebrates talent and academic excellence. Together with Danish and international partners from industry, foundations, and public organizations, we create knowledge that makes a positive impact on society. International rankings confirm our strength in this regard.
Maritime research at the Faculty of Engineering advances fundamental knowledge and addresses societal challenges in naval architecture, ocean engineering, and the sustainable development of marine transportation and offshore systems.
The Faculty of Engineering at SDU hosts several research groups engaged in maritime topics and projects. Maritime research spans multiple disciplines and integrates knowledge and methods from various scientific and engineering fields, including naval architecture, data science, robotics, logistics, electrical engineering, energy, and mechanical engineering. The research is practice-oriented and conducted in close collaboration with industry. While rooted in technical science, the research also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration with maritime research groups from the faculties of Science, Social Sciences, Health, and Humanities through the interdisciplinary research network Blue SDU.
Teknika
Teknika (formerly the Copenhagen School of Marine Engineering and Technology Management) is Denmark’s oldest marine engineering school and has educated marine engineers since 1906. There are approximately 500 students and 40 employees. The Marine Engineering and Technology Management Programme is a professional bachelor’s programme in technology management and marine engineering.
Svendborg International Maritime Academy
SIMAC is Denmark’s largest maritime educational institution with 500 students and 90 proficient, highly educated employees. SIMAC offers study programmes for shipmaster and marine engineer.
Technical University of Denmark (Maritime DTU)
Maritime DTU was established in 2014 and will coordinate and strengthen the four main missions of the university: research, education, innovation and public sector consultancy; within the maritime field.
At the same time, the centre will act as DTU’s contact to the maritime industry and also increase cooperation with other leading universities within the maritime field, both with regards to education and to research. The centre will maintain the current maritime educational activities and continuously create and develop attractive educations and courses across DTU.
At the same time the centre will increase the visibility and marketing of the educations toward the students and in that way attract more engineering students to the maritime courses and educations. The centre will also act to increase the contact and collaboration between the students and the industry through student projects and thereby make the education more attractive for the students and the graduates more attractive and employable for the industry.
Maritime DTU will function as a platform for new collaboration agreements with other leading universities regarding education and research within the maritime area. The center gives excellent opportunities for attracting well-regarded guest professors and PhD students from leading universities and research scenes.
