You take three compulsory modules (40 credits) that normally cover: research skills; management and communication; and design and implementation of experiments. You then select three optional modules (30 credits) from a list that includes topics such as: marine production technology; engineering mathematics; optimal marine design; process control systems; sustainable processing energy and materials technology; pollution monitoring; business and environmental management; energy management; contaminated land; and foundation of environmental law and policy. Please note that modules may change from year to year. You also undertake a collaborative research project with an industrial partner (110 credits).
