Newcastle is one of the few universities in the UK to offer degree programmes specifically concerned with problems of engineering that are particular to the marine environment, power plants and ships.

Well-equipped diesel engine research laboratories, along with computing and other facilities, ensure that we maintain our leading international position.

This programme offers good career prospects in a variety of interesting jobs within the industry. Our graduates also find that this degree prepares them for work in a wider range of disciplines.

Our three-year BEng degree provides you with a firm foundation in this exciting subject area. For those wishing to study in more depth, our four-year MEng degree includes a combined group project and report and the opportunity to take further advanced modules.

Our degrees are divided into Stages. Each Stage lasts for an academic year and you need to complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each Stage.

Stage 1

Compulsory modules

• EEE1007  Electrical Engineering I (For MAR)
• ENG1001  Engineering Mathematics I
• MAR1001  Marine Engineering Practice I
• MAR1002  Marine Statistics
• MAR1003  Naval Architecture I
• MAR1004  Marine Informatics I
• MAR1005  Marine Production Management I
• MAR1006  Marine Engineering Science 1
• MAR1007  Materials in the Marine Environment
• MAR1008  Marine Mechanics
