Have you ever thought about spending a semester studying in Croatia? Would you like to explore the fascinating world of ship design and marine engineering? The University of Rijeka's Faculty of Engineering is planning to offer its Marine Vessels semester-long specialisation to students of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Debrecen, starting in spring 2028.
Why take part? Because engineering goes far beyond cars!
The Marine Vessels programme offers a unique opportunity to broaden your engineering knowledge, discover a new field and gain valuable international experience.
During the semester, you will explore the fundamentals of ship design, ship structures, hydromechanics, marine equipment, propulsion systems and maintenance. And it is not all about lectures: you will also gain hands-on experience through laboratory sessions, design assignments and engineering projects.
The programme is particularly appealing to vehicle engineering students, but students from other engineering disciplines may also benefit.
You will have the chance to apply your existing engineering skills in a new field, build international connections and explore career opportunities in shipbuilding, yacht design and marine technologies. All this while experiencing student life in Rijeka, a vibrant coastal city in Croatia's beautiful Kvarner region.
