Course Summary

This master's covers the core subjects of Maritime Engineering Science for both the design and analysis of marine craft and structures within the marine environment. You can choose from five pathways, each covers a broad context alongside an in-depth specialisation of your choice.

On this pathway, you'll to study the component and systems engineering on board ships and fixed and offshore structures that facilitate their functional capability.

This course is ideal if you are a graduate or professional with an engineering, scientific or mathematical background, and want to pursue a career in the maritime sector. Specialist knowledge of the discipline isn't essential, as we'll provide you with an introductory module to the fundamentals of Ship Science.

Assessment methods (Outcome qualification level): Examinations, presentations, coursework and dissertation. Professional bodies: Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) |Institution of Mechanical Engineers |Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) | Engineering Council | Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) | European Accreditation of Engineering Programmes (EAEP).

Modules

Within the context of your programme of study, students will undertake independent, original and critical research on a relevant topic. Students will then communicate the research objectives, methodology, analysis, results and conclusions effectively both orally and through the production of a Dissertation.
