Greek Shipping, a global leader, is today called upon to respond to major challenges: improving energy efficiency, complying with increasingly strict environmental regulations, and harnessing the potential of digital technology.

 

In response to these needs, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), and specifically the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, announces the establishment of the new Master’s Program (MSc) “Ship Performance Analysis and Management.” The program offers a unique combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, addressing graduate engineers and professionals in the maritime sector who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills, acquiring cutting-edge expertise that combines academic training and applied research.

 

The program is scheduled to begin in February 2026. The duration of studies is three academic semesters and leads to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. The curriculum includes ten compulsory courses as well as the preparation of a master’s thesis, covering topics such as:

  • hydrodynamics and energy efficiency,
  • propulsion and fuel technologies,
  • fleet operational data analysis and management,
  • environmental regulations and compliance strategies,
  • decarbonization and sustainable development.

 

The program has already been evaluated by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education (HAHE) and received full accreditation, ranking in the highest evaluation tier. In its report, the External Evaluation Committee highlighted:

  • the well-structured design and clear orientation of the program,
  • the quality and international experience of the teaching staff,
  • the close connection with the needs of Greek and global shipping,
  • • its contribution to the education of professionals capable of supporting the sector’s green and digital transition.

 

With this new Master’s Program, NTUA reinforces its role as a center of excellence and innovation in naval engineering education and research, contributing to the preservation and strengthening of the competitiveness of Greek shipping in the international arena.
