For more information on the functioning of the programme and the rest of the courses visit the master's official website.

Students begin the first semester of the first year at the NTNU. The second semester, depending on the track chosen, can go to the UPC (Track 1: Future Ports and Waterways and Track 2: Coastal Environmental Engineering) or to the Università di Genova (Track 3: Coastal Management).

During the second year, students spend the first semester at the ESITC-Caen and at the Universitè Caen Normandie (which includes an internship period) and choose, in the 2or semester, the university in which they want to write their Master's Thesis.
