Design all types of vessels, submarines and offshore infrastructure and design the naval systems of the future.
• Naval hydrodynamics
• Naval structure
• Ship design loop
• Design of offshore infrastructure
• Fluid mechanics
• Materials, etc.
At the end of their training, students complete a ship design loop project that constitutes the program's grand finale and offers them a chance to validate the skills necessary for a career in naval or offshore construction.
On an international, as well as national level, all R&D activities are geared towards the ship of the future: safer, cleaner and more sustainable, economical and intelligent.
All ENSTA Bretagne students in Naval Architecture are made aware of these issues in their choice of materials, motorization, and propulsion methods, as well as the need to take account of a ship’s life cycle.
Each year, the Royal Institute of Naval Architects, in partnership with Bureau Veritas, awards a prize to the top student in this major.
Students can choose from 3 tracks* to further refine their future career choices:
*depending on available places
Develop expertise in offshore infrastructure architecture:
Students learn to master the tools and methods used to evaluate a ship's hydrodynamic performance (seaworthiness, maneuverability, resistance, propulsion, impact) through digital simulation and testing.
Earn a double degree! This track, which also prepares students for R&D roles, can be associated with the Naval Hydrodynamics track of the University of Brest's Master in Marine Physics. This double degree can form a basis for further doctoral studies.
Students in this track learn to design naval structures using digital modeling. They analyze structures' reactions to various loads and learn to anticipate the main causes of failure (ultimate strength, fatigue, buckling, etc.) in order to build appropriate dimensions into their designs.
Some students taking this profile will be able to learn how to design sailboats (lines plan, sail trim to achieve balance, sailboat architecture).
