Duration: 3 years (4 years MEng)
We offer the only degree programmes in the UK specifically relevant to the propulsion and auxiliary machinery of ships and the power and control systems for other kinds of marine constructions - oil production platforms, underwater vehicles, sub-sea systems and offshore vehicles. They are also accredited by The Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology.
Our well-equipped diesel engine research laboratories, computing and other facilities ensure that we maintain our leading international position. A variety of interesting jobs within the industry ensures good career prospects but our graduates also find that the degree prepares them for work in a wider range of disciplines.
All students take common modules for Stage 1 of all our Marine Technology programmes. Stage 2 includes compulsory modules (120 credits):
As Stage 2 is the same for BEng and MEng courses, it is possible to transfer to the MEng at this point.
BEng options
In Stage 3 students undertake a combined individual project and report and also study marine engineering and design, dynamic modelling and simulation, internal combustion engines and stability of marine vehicles, as well as naval architecture. A quarter of our modules are optional and are chosen from a comprehensive list of technical, business and management subjects.
MEng options
Approximately half of the modules at Stages 3 and 4 are optional and are chosen from a comprehensive list of technical, business and management subjects.
In Stage 3 students undertake an individual project together with a report, which take a quarter of study time throughout the year. In addition, there are modules in marine engineering and design, stability of marine vehicles and naval architecture.
Stage 4 involves a combined group project and report, and the study of dynamic modelling and simulation, and internal combustion engines.
