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 get detailed insight into core naval architecture subject areas, such as resistance and propulsion, maritime structures, manoeuvring, hydrodynamics and materials.

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

This fundamentals module is aimed primarily for the MSc students in Maritime Engineering Science and students on the MECH/Navel Engineering programmes. It provides them with the essential knowledge of Ship Science required for their subsequent studies. This module can also be taken by other students who may need the relevant information for their degrees, subject to their Degree programme regulations. Lectures are delivered in Teaching Weeks 0 of the academic year with tutorials, examination, and coursework completed during the rest of the semester.
