Project Summary

The objective of EMSHIP+ is to provide a high level of education in “Advanced Design of Ships and Offshore
Structures”. The challenges faced are condensing multidisciplinary topics such as ship and offshore design,
computational and experimental methods, structure, hydrodynamic, production, etc. into 2 years, while offering
the students advanced academic lectures as well as extensive industry experience (though an internship).In the
light of those challenges, the consortium selected the University of Liege (Belgium), to deliver a broad
engineering foundation to a wide spectrum of students, thus enabling students to achieve the intended learning
outcomes in the fields of Ship and Offshore Structure, Ship Design Methodology, Hydrodynamics and Production,
based on fundamentals in Mechanics, Vibration Theory, CFD, FEM, Materials and Manufacturing Process. The
EMSHIP+ students are required to hold at least a Bachelor degree (minimum 3 years and 180 credits). They are
selected based on their academic excellence and prerequisites such as hydrodynamics and numerical methods.
ULiege use student’s existing knowledge in physics, hydrodynamics, solid mechanics, to focus the EMSHIP+
master program on the practical applications of these theoretical concepts to SHIP and OFFSHORE
STRUCTURE DESIGN. Then, to receive advanced knowledge in their field of specialisation, the EMSHIP+
students will have the opportunity to join a second university for their third semester and then an industrial partner
for their internship (coupled with a third university in charge of the master thesis during an extended 4th
semester). Students can choose from the following topics: Advanced Hydrodynamics in Ship and Offshore
(manoeuvrability and propulsion), Design of Sailing Yachts and Motor Yachts, Ocean Engineering, Information
Technology, Advanced Ships and Offshore Structures (fatigue, ultimate strength) and many others. During the
3rd semester, the students will be distributed between ECN (France), URO (Germany) and ZUT (Poland). For the
master thesis and internship (4th semester), UPM (Madrid), UGAL (Romania), UNIGE (Italy), ICAM (France) and
SOLENT (UK) will supervise the internships (with the support of EMSHIP+ industrial partners) and master thesis.
A group of 30 Industrial partners (Classification societies, shipyards, manufacturer and designers) provide
internships (4-5 months).In addition, University of Michigan (USA), Osaka University (Japan), University Federal
of Rio Janeiro (Brazil), Pusan National (Korea), University of New South Wales (Australia), Istanbul University
(Turkey) and University of Sciences and Technology of Oran (Algeria) contribute to the program as advisors,
recruiters and assessors (internal quality control and development), and will also welcome students for advanced
master thesis. WEGEMT (European Association of Universities) assists the consortium in the dissemination of
information to students in Europe and beyond.
