The core curriculum of the Department of Shipbuilding and Ocean Engineering for the major “135 Shipbuilding”, which is equivalent in terms of training ship and vessel designers to the "Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering" major widely offered abroad, was accredited in 2018 as the "Ships and Ocean Engineering" educational and professional program with a licensed capacity of 125 master’s students.

To enhance students’ practical training, the Department of Ship Design and Construction has established the “Yacht” Student Design Bureau and the “Gals” Student Shipyard. Within these departments, students have designed more than a hundred real-world projects for yachts and small vessels, and, with the active participation of students, 15 yachts of the “Antares” type and others have been built.

The Department of Transport and Logistics is actively involved in recruiting international students to study at the National University of Kyiv. Over the years, the department has had students from Guinea, Tunisia, Turkey, Iran, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, and China.

In 2010, Prof. V.O. Nekrasov and Prof. Jiang Zhizong signed the first curriculum for group training in Ukraine of Chinese students under the educational program “Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.” Currently, this field is developing rapidly.

In 2018, the Shipbuilding Institute of the National University of Shipbuilding graduated its first class of master’s students from the fully English-language program designed for the People’s Republic of China.
