The Master, borne out by the University of Genoa in collaboration with the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute, is designed for University Graduates with a specialistic degree in scientific disciplines, as well as Navy Officers from Italy and abroad. The Master can be attended also by University Graduates holding a specialistic degree in other disciplines, as long as in possession of the necessary requisites of competence and professional experience.
