UDJG-FAN

The Faculty of Naval Architecture (FAN) from the ”Dunărea de Jos” University of Galati, is a leading naval educational institution in Romania starting from 1948, dedicated to advancing the field of naval architecture and maritime engineering. Located in a region with a rich maritime tradition, this faculty stands at the forefront of shipbuilding, ports, and maritime industry education.

Our mission is to enhance the competitiveness and growth of maritime companies through innovative research, collaboration, and international engagement. We are committed to fostering a culture of excellence and cooperation within the maritime sector.

The Faculty of Naval Architecture in Galati comprises a diverse community of experts and students involved in every aspect of the maritime supply chain. Our faculty collaborates with shipyards, ship design companies, maritime equipment and technology providers, ports, shipowners, public administrations (local, river, ports administrations), and other educational and training institutions. This extensive network ensures our programs are aligned with industry needs and global standards.

With a tradition of over 75 years, our curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to excel in the dynamic and ever-evolving maritime industry.

Between 2017-2022, our faculty provided 442 Bachelor of Naval Engineering (Naval Architecture and Ship Systems and Equipment) graduates, while between 2018-2023 only 100 MSc in Naval Architecture graduates (in English).

Of the 217 graduates who graduated Naval Architecture work in the shipbuilding sector (34% design and engineering companies, 56% shipyards, 6% turnkey contractors, 4% others).

The MSc graduates work in the shipbuilding sector (40% design and engineering companies, 46% shipyards, 3% turnkey contractors, 12% others).

Within the LeaderShip project, UDJG through Naval Architecture Faculty will develop two reports for WP4 Training Provision:

• report including the process of piloting main courses, and its assessment to refine them.
• report to implement the courses attending the context of the industry in each country.

These milestones will allow the partners to achieve D4.3 (Pilots of Courses) and D4.4 (Sectorial Approach).
