The Master in Yacht Design offers the ideal educational path to become a Yacht Designer

The Master in Yacht Design offers the ideal educational path to become a Yacht Designer, by giving the necessary skills to deal with every stage of the design process – from the initial research and development of the concept to the actual construction of the interiors and exteriors and the validation of production processes in the boatyard. 

In recent years, the nautical sector has expanded constantly, confirming its role as one of the drivers of Made in Italy design. Furthermore, and the new classic approach, based on naval architecture, is taking on an automotive oriented edge, which introduces new working standards and technical and style solutions borrowed from car design.

The vocation of the Piemonte area, which boasts a number of style centres and renowned companies in the land and sea transport sectors, as well as one of the world’s largest shipyards, combined with the short distance from the coast of Liguria, makes Turin the natural setting for a training course founded on the growing process of osmosis that links the yacht world and the automotive industry.   

Information to decide

Methodology and structure.

The course is planned in levels, which begin with providing students with essential knowledge of the nautical sector, in terms of both cultural aspects and basic techniques. From there, students gradually acquire the skills connected with yacht design. 

Starting from a study of the history and current scenarios of the nautical sector, students will go on to study the market and obtain more detail knowledge of the different types of boats. They acquire significant knowledge of materials, technologies and production methods, including through hands-on experience in a shipyard. They are provided with technical drawing and design tools, as well.

A further strength of this Master course is the fact that is delivered on two campuses, Turin and Venice. This offers participants a dual scenario, in which both cities represent an important aspect of the themes the course is focused on: the tradition of the automotive industry on the one hand, and the maritime vocation on the other. 

The training course ends with a Thesis Project, developed on a brief given by a boatyard or a design studio.

Who is it for?

The admission of the Master is open to graduates in Architecture, Engineering and in the field of Design (Transportation, Interior, Product), as well as professionals in the sector seeking to apply their skills in this specific area.

6 of the best yacht design courses to kick-start your career

Yacht design and production beng.

Although many of the world’s top superyacht designers had no formal training, taking a yacht design course can be a great way to kick-start your career and make vital industry connections. We round up five of the best.

Southampton Solent University’s Yacht Design and Production Course has an international reputation and for good reason, as it features guest lectures from BMT Nigel Gee and work experience placements at Sunseeker International . Students on this three-year course study the engineering science behind great yacht design as well as the fundamental principles of naval architecture. A foundation year is available, as well as opportunities to study abroad. Notable successes include the class of 2014, who built the foiling catamaran Solent Whisper (pictured above).

Yacht Design Diploma

Based in the American town of Arundel, Maine, the Landing School offers a wide range of courses in marine technology. Its Yacht Design Diploma boasts a 100% employment rate for former students and bursaries are available via the Women in the Marine Industry scholarship. Alumni have gone on to work for the America’s Cup team Artemis Racing (pictured above).

Yacht Design 1st Level Masters

Offered as a postgraduate course, the Yacht Design 1st Level Masters at Milan’s ISAD design school is intended for students who have a degree in architecture, engineering or design. Taught in both English and Italian, this one-year course culminates in an industry placement, and guest speakers include  Mario Pedol  (who designed the 180 metre  Azzam  — pictured), and  Andrea Vallicelli .

Yacht and Boat Design Diploma

The Westlawn Institute has been teaching yacht design for more than 80 years, and currently offers an online distance-learning programme. The Yacht and Boat Design course is taught by tutors based in the USA and Australia, and is accredited by the Royal Institute of Naval Architects in London. This one-year diploma features modules on construction, engineering and CAD. Famous alumni include Douglas Zurn , Tom Fexas and Geoffrey Van Aller , who is responsible for the design of many of the top 50 largest US-built yachts , such as the 73 metre Cocoa Bean (pictured above).

Automotive and Transport Design MDes/BA

A slightly left field option perhaps, but automotive design is one of the key fields that influences yacht design . This three to four-year undergraduate course at Coventry University is held in particularly high regard for its strong industry connections. Former students who have gone on to make a name for themselves in the superyacht world include Jonny Horsfield (whose H2 Yacht Design studio created the exteriors for the 123 metre Project Jupiter  — pictured above), and Steve Gresham.

Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering MEng

In recent years, there has been a trend towards students using naval architecture courses as a route into yacht design, as James Roy from BMT Nigel Gee explains: "It used to be that if you attended a traditional naval architecture degree then you would spend most of your time learning things about big merchant ships, but that is not the case anymore.

"Most university degrees are now geared to provide modular approaches, and the naval architecture and engineering of smaller and specialist vessels, such as yachts, are included."

This four-year course at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow is a case in point — providing a broad basis for understanding how a wide variety of vessels work, from luxury yachts to commercial ships. The faculty also owns a 10 metre sailing yacht called Catalina (pictured above), which students can hire for as little as £30 per day.

Master of Design in Design for Interactions

Our mdes program supports those with design backgrounds who seek to transform their practice..

The School of Design welcomes students who hold undergraduate degrees in a design-based field and at least one year of professional experience to enroll in our MDes program. If you’re looking to build onto your strong foundation in design by studying the “big picture” aspect of designing for interactions—people, organizations, cultures, contexts, and systems—our MDes program can help you. Throughout the program, you will work with some of the brightest thinkers and most talented practitioners in the field, gaining exposure to approaches, ideas, and methods at the forefront of design. Studies rooted in communication, systems thinking, futuring, speculative design, design technology, ethics, and design research form the basis of the MDes. The curriculum enables us to teach you a rigorous process for documenting, analyzing, and understanding the past and present so that you are well-positioned to propose more desirable systems and interactions for the future.

The diversity of our MDes cohort creates an incredible group of people with whom to learn.

In addition to bringing rich cultural experiences from around the world, our MDes students hold a wide range of professional and academic expertise. Holding undergraduate degrees in design-based disciplines such as communication design, product design, user experience design, architecture, and service design, our MDes students bring their unique perspectives to design coursework, which enriches everyone’s learning. Our requirement for MDes students to have at least one year of professional experience also bolsters our program as students bring valuable lessons learned in practice, such as effective collaboration, to their academic studies.

Our rigorous curriculum balances structure and autonomy.

Spanning four semesters over the course of two years, the MDes program will challenge your thinking of the roles design can and should play in aiding various forms of interactions throughout society. Through individual and team-based projects that focus on the design of services or social innovation concepts, you will learn design principles, approaches, theories, and tools that are essential to designing for interactions. Each semester is comprised of thoughtfully-aligned seminars, studios, and labs that equip you with important knowledge and skills that aid your development as a design leader. Despite designers typically working in service of others and responding to specific prompts, our MDes courses provide you with ample autonomy in directing your individual work. We take this approach because we recognize the importance of your individual interests and strive to support you as you chart your personal path that builds on your unique design background and voice. Given that CMU is a liberal arts research university, students may also appreciate pursuing research opportunities with faculty and taking courses across campus to broaden and deepen their education.

The MDes thesis provides an opportunity for you to conduct rigorous design research.

A unique feature of the MDes program is the design thesis, which is characterized as an independent research and design project that you will conduct under the mentorship of a faculty advisor. The thesis is complemented by a required second-year seminar, elective coursework in the School of Design, and other departments across the Carnegie Mellon campus. In the first year, you'll identify possible thesis topics relative to School of Design faculty expertise, investigate ways of conducting a thesis, construct a researchable question that will frame your project, secure a thesis advisor, and write a proposal for your second year of study. In the second year, you'll conduct intensive research that aligns with an appropriate design process and culminates in a robust design project that addresses your research question. You will also write a document that describes your steps and discoveries. Throughout the process you will participate in public sharing sessions of thesis work, where you will give and receive feedback to further your inquiry and understanding. You can peruse masters theses from students in the School of Design online at KiltHub .

Each commenter at the meeting has two (2) minutes so that as many people as possible have a chance to speak. If you have already submitted a comment in writing, please do not read it aloud at the meeting–it has been added to the record. Do not repeat comments that have already been made. The Chair of the CDR Committee can choose to enforce these rules by muting commenters.

Common Questions about the special CDR for Master Plans Meeting

Q: how can i access the meeting.

The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 2nd. You can access the meeting via Zoom by registering here , even after the meeting has started, or by calling (267) 831-0333 (Webinar ID: 842 5141 6400 | Passcode: 848729).

Q: I can’t attend but want to comment, how do I do that?

You can submit written comment on this form or by emailing [email protected] .

Q: Will the meeting recording be available afterwards?

Yes. The meeting recording and minutes will be available on the Planning Commission website and the City’s PHL Gov TV YouTube channel .

Q: What is CDR?

CDR, or Civic Design Review, is a forum for public discussion of large development projects. A committee of design professionals and up to two community representatives make advisory recommendations about how these projects interact with the public realm. The public realm is part of a development that people can see and access and includes adjacent public spaces including streets, sidewalks, and parks.

Regulations for Civic Design Review are available in section 1 4-304(5) of the Philadelphia Code .

Q: What is CDR for Master Plans?

There are two types of CDR: CDR for Buildings and a second, less common type, CDR for Master Plans. Projects that go through CDR for Master Plans will also go through CDR for Buildings at a later date.

Topics discussed at CDR for Master Plans include movement of pedestrians, traffic, and public transportation in and around the site; public access; open spaces; and the overall sizes and shapes of buildings.

More information about Civic Design Review (CDR) for Master Plans is on this Resources page .

Q: Does a Civic Design Review mean that the project is approved?

No. City Council may introduce a bill to legally recognize a Master Plan for the arena site. Holding Master Plan Civic Design Review before a Master Plan bill has been introduced provides an opportunity for the public to provide input to the plan.

Q: Where can I watch the December 18th CDR meeting for the proposed arena?

Recordings of public meetings related to the arena are collected on the City’s PHLGov TV YouTube channel and are available on the Planning Commission’s Public Meetings page .

Q: I have a question that is not answered here. How can I ask my question?

關於市政設計審查程式的問題：

問： CDR 是什麼？

CDR 亦稱市政設計審查，是一個就大型開發項目進行公開討論的論壇。由專業設計人員和最多兩名社區代表組成的委員會將就項目如何與公共領域互動提出諮詢建議。公共領域是民眾可以看到和進入的開發項目的一部分，包括街道、人行道和公園等鄰近公共空間。

《費城法典》 第 14-304(5) 節 對市政設計審查做出了相應規定。

問：什麼是總體規劃市政設計審查？

市政設計審查分為兩種： 第一種是建築市政設計審查 ，第二種類型不那麼常見，稱為 總體規劃市政設計審查 。通過總體規劃市政設計審查的專案稍後也將進行建築市政設計審查。

總體規劃市政設計審查討論的主題包括場地內和周邊的行人、交通和公共交通動向；公共通道；開放空間；以及建築物的整體大小和造型。

問：市政設計審查是否意味著項目已獲核准？

市議會可能會提出一項法案，從法律上承認場館用地的總體規劃。在提出總體規劃法案之前舉行總體規劃市政設計審查，為公眾提供了一個對規劃提出意見的機會。

問：在哪裡可以觀看 12 月 18 日舉行的擬議場館市政設計審查會議？

與體育館相關的公開會議回訪將在以下市政府頻道發佈 PHLGov TV YouTube 頻道 ：
