The course in brief

Presentation

The doctoral course in Marine Science and Technology brings together the disciplines and knowledge that find their field of investigation in the sea and the environment in which scientific research takes place, developing highly specialized knowledge and skills in a multidisciplinary environment. Teaching and research activities encompass the various themes and components that constitute the "Blue Growth Strategy" from a sustainable development perspective.

Training Objectives.

Objective of the doctoral course is to train young people in scientific research on Blue Growth Strategy issues according to an interdisciplinary approach. This goal is pursued over the three-year period through participation in courses specifically developed for doctoral training, participation in seminars and conferences, summer and winter schools, and inclusion in research groups, as well as constant liaison with the faculty college and the supervisor teacher of the final thesis.

Professional outlets

In addition to the opportunity to enter an academic career, Ph.D.s will be able to find employment in a variety of fields depending on the curriculum followed.
Areas of possible employment range from:

  • transportation service production companies and the logistics industry
  • industry authorities
  • public and private laboratories and research centers
