NAOME research outcomes supports industry and society in useful and innovative ways. Over the years NAOME has made a major contribution on the safety of ships around the world while also performing high quality research on a wide range of topics; from reducing carbon emissions and optimizing ship operations to developing new types of floating wind turbines and new tools for modeling fluid loads on floating structures.

As a result of the above, NAOME has been rated as number one in the UK and number four in the world for Marine/Ocean Engineering in the prestigious Shanghai rankings 2021.In this respect, NAOME offers a range of Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses associated to the above.

A collaboration between these two renowned Departments offers a true competitive advantage to any executive wishing to pursue this particular programme.
