Requirements for admission to study and transfer from other higher education institutions
 

Aims

Undergraduate university study in Naval Architecture shall prepare students for the graduate university study in Naval Architecture, and shall also provide opportunities for employment at appropriate professional positions. In the undergraduate study in Naval Architecture, the students shall be provided in a reasonable amount and at a sufficiently high level with knowledge in basic engineering on the one hand, and on the other, in main naval architecture, so that in their student practice, as well as in their further professional development, they shall meet the demands of the given tasks. In its scope and content, the study shall provide students with the necessary breadth of professional knowledge that shall enable them at the end of their study to carry out work independently and in professional teams in any segment of naval architecture. Graduating students must be capable of pursuing lifelong learning and professional development, and they must have a broad education (being familiar with topics outside engineering). If students decide to continue their study, they shall be able to enrol into the graduate university study in Naval Architecture at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering, or same study at other universities in Croatia.
