This degree is taught at the Polytechnic School of Engineering of Ferrol (EPEF) on the Esteiro Campus. The EPEF was born in 2021 as a result of the merger of the two engineering schools in the city, the Polytechnic University School and the Higher Polytechnic School, with more than 50 years of experience in training in the field of engineering.
The Bachelor's Degree in Naval and Oceanic Engineering is a career for those who want to get fully involved in the world of ships and everything that has to do with the sea. You will learn how to design and build everything from small pleasure boats to large offshore structures, including everything related to the hull of ships, their propulsion and the systems that make boats work. But not everything is limited to design, there are also opportunities in ship maintenance and repair, port management, public administration as a ship inspector, fleet management in shipping companies or research and development.
This degree qualifies for the regulated profession of Naval Technical Engineer (Order CIN/350/2009) with the professional attributions of the specialties of Marine Structures and Propulsion and Ship Services; it also allows direct access to the Master's Degree in Naval and Oceanic Engineering, which in turn qualifies for the regulated profession of Naval and Oceanic Engineer (Order CIN/354/2009).

Only degree in Galicia... Currently, it is the only centre in the northwest of the peninsula where the complete offer of studies related to Naval and Oceanic Engineering is taught.
A race without stopping... Naval and Oceanic Engineering is a career with very good job opportunities. Their graduates usually have a very low unemployment rate, because they are highly valued profiles in a sector that continues to grow and that it needs trained professionals. In addition, there are not only opportunities in Spain, but also outside, where this training is very well recognized. In fact, according to data from the INE, the employment rate of former students of Naval and Oceanic Engineering is 94.6%, a very high figure registration within university careers.
Fully integrated into the business sector... Due to its strategic location, the Polytechnic School of Engineering of Ferrol – and, therefore, this degree – is in a place of weight within the naval sector. Galicia and the city of Ferrol are benchmarks in all what surrounds maritime and naval activity, both at an industrial and administrative. Practically the entire ecosystem is present in the region: fishing, ship design, construction and repair, military activities, civil administration and large port facilities. For a student of Naval and Oceanic Engineering, this means having the sector very close, with many internship opportunities, contacts and career opportunities.
Practical training in companies... You will be able to carry out internships within a wide range of contracted companies that cover practically all sectors of the profession.
Small teaching groups... Classes are always taught in small groups, with no more than 50 students in the theoretical presentations and a maximum of 20 in the practical sessions. This allows for personalized attention to students that is not easy to find in other more crowded universities. In addition, the synergies that are generated between teachers and students of the different engineering courses taught on campus result in a net benefit in the training of future graduates.
