The Institute implements the following bachelor’s
degree programs: “Shipbuilding, Ocean Engineer-
ing and Systems Engineering of Marine Infrastruc-
ture Facilities”, “Mechanic Engineering”, “Design
and Engineering Support of Mechanical Engineer-
ing Industries”, “Computer Science”, “Management
in Technical Systems”, “Nuclear Physics and Tech-
nologies”; following master programs: “Shipbuilding,
Ocean Engineering and Systems Engineering of Ma-
rine Infrastructure Facilities”, “Design and Engineer-
ing Support of Mechanical Engineering Industries”,
since 2021 a new program “Applied Informatics”; spe-
cialists programs: “Ground Transport and Technolog-
ical Systems”, since 2021 new programs “Design and
Building of Ships, Vessels and Objects of Ocean En-
gineering” and “Design, Manufacturing and Repair
of Power Plants and Automation Systems for Ships
and Vessels”. In addition, the postgraduate programs
“Electrical and Thermal Engineering”, “Mechanical
Engineering”, “Engineering and Technology of Ship-
building and Water Transport” have been opened.
Despite the fact that graduates of existing bache-
lor’s programs are extremely in demand at the enter-
prises of the industry and not only at them, there is
a large and not yet satisfied need for graduates with
the specialist level: this is primarily dictated by the
specifics of shipbuilding and ship repair as complex
and knowledge-intensive industries that require deep
theoretical and practical training. Moreover, the re-
quirements of the current professional standards in
the industry do not imply significant career oppor-
tunities for an employee with a bachelor’s degree. In
short, if you want to become a manager, you need a
specialist’s or a master’s degree.
Of course, the newly opened specialists programs
do not copy the experience of similar programs of the
past. Taking as a basis the best that was created by the
predecessors, the professors of Sevmashvtuz filled the
programs with new content that takes into account
the existing and future trends in the development of
shipbuilding, including its digital transformation. The
emergence of a new master’s program in applied com-
puter science is closely related to the trends in the dig-
italization of industry.
