What is naval architecture?
Naval architecture involves the design and construction of the world’s largest moving structures and most powerful vehicles. As a Naval Architect, you’ll deal with everything from huge ships to sailing yachts, from fast ferries to offshore wind turbines and oil platforms.
Why study naval architecture?
According to the International Maritime Organization, more than 90% of the world’s trade is carried by sea and it is, by far, the most cost-effective way to move en-masse goods and raw materials around the world. Undoubtedly, we’ll always need naval architects to make sea travel continually safer, more efficient and cost-effective.
