Erasmus Mundus master's degree in Coastal and Marine Engineering and Management (CoMEM)

Barcelona School of Civil Engineering (ETSECCPB)

The Erasmus Mundus master's degree in Coastal and Marine Engineering and Management (CoMEM), coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and with the UPC as a participant, is designed to provide advanced training to future scientists and engineers with responsibilities in coastal, harbour and offshore projects, including management and administration roles in sea-related engineering firms. During the programme, students familiarise themselves with key issues for providing sustainable, environmentally friendly, legally and economically acceptable solutions to various problems in the fields covered by CoMEM.

The programme offers a well-designed combination of topics, theory and practice within five different tracks, giving the students the added value of mobility within the consortium’s universities, promoting students’ social integration and taking advantage of the distinctive skills offered by the five partner institutions. The tracks are Arctic Marine Coastal Engineering; Marine Operations and Management; Environment and Management; Coastal Engineering; and Engineering and Environment.
