About the Chair

Shipbuilding can look back on a long history at the University of Rostock: the Technical Faculty of Shipbuilding was founded in 1951 as the first engineering faculty at a 'non-technical' university in Germany in order to educate the necessary specialists for the regional shipyards. The education began in the summer semester of 1951 for 97 students.

70 years later, our courses in the bachelor's degree program of Mechanical Engineering and the master's degree program of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering as well as the international master's degree program in Advanced Ship and Offshore Design (EMShip) support our students and equip them with the fundamental skills to face the current and upcoming challenges in the industry as future specialists.

As a partner in national and international research networks, we work together closely with companies and other research institutions on solutions for the maritime future. The portfolio of our research topics includes:

  • Efficient tools for the design phase
  • Innovative concepts for ships and maritime systems
  • Safe, sustainable shipping and marine operations
  • Digitalization and decision making support
  • Technologies to avoid, prevent and resolve maritime pollution (oil, marine litter, munitions waste)
