Maritime Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This integrated Master's in Maritime Engineering, formerly known as MEng Ship Science with Industrial Placement Year, focuses on the design, construction, and testing of vessels and offshore structures for transport, recreation, and marine resource utilization. It combines theoretical naval architecture and marine engineering with practical labs, design modules, and projects. The first two years provide a shared foundation in marine vehicle science and engineering for both BEng and MEng programs. From year three, students can pursue one of six specialist pathways—such as Advanced Computational Engineering or Naval Architecture—or opt for a broad-based degree, followed by advanced modules, individual projects, and a group design project in year four. An optional industrial placement year enhances employability through real-world application.The program includes typical modules like Basic Naval Architecture in year one and Ship Design and Economics in year two, with advanced options in later years. Assessment involves written exams, coursework, lab reports, essays, and projects, including a reflective report for the placement year. Students access facilities such as a 138m towing tank and workshops. The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, Institution of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, and Institution of Mechanical Engineers, offering a path to chartered status.
