In the context of an island increasingly oriented towards innovation and the enhancement of its territorial excellence, the city of Olbia is establishing itself as a key hub for high-quality university education. Thanks to the synergistic collaboration between UniOlbia, the University of Sassari, and the University of Cagliari, the educational offering in the area is expanding with strategic degree programs designed to meet market demands and to highlight the region’s natural vocations.
Among the currently active degree programs, the Bachelor’s degree in Naval Engineering stands out as a course that directly addresses the challenges and opportunities of a sector that is central to Sardinia’s economy and its international positioning. With its port, shipyards, and strong presence of companies in the maritime and logistics sectors, Olbia provides the ideal environment to develop technical and professional skills that combine innovation, sustainability, and maritime tradition. This program trains naval engineers capable of working in the design, construction, and maintenance of vessels, as well as in the management of naval systems and port infrastructure. It offers highly qualified preparation aligned with the needs of the nautical sector, both locally and internationally.
Fiera Nautica di Sardegna, now approaching its Fifth Edition in Spring 2026, represents the perfect setting to showcase the synergy between education and industry. As a regional and national event of significance, it is not only a showcase for nautical excellence, but also a meeting point between the business world, institutions, and the new generation of professionals.
In addition to Naval Engineering, UniOlbia’s academic offer includes Bachelor’s degree programs in Nursing and Tourism Economics and Management, as well as Master’s degrees in Business Economics (Tourism Management) and Innovation Management for Sustainable Tourism. This set of programs aims to build a true pipeline of knowledge and innovation, supporting the main development sectors of the region: healthcare, tourism, and nautical industries.
The mission of UniOlbia and its academic partners is to make higher education increasingly more accessible, rooted in the local context, and strategic for Sardinia’s future. Investing in education means investing in people and in the skills that will drive the growth of key sectors such as nautical, a long-standing cornerstone of the regional economic fabric.
