Course content

Our Naval Architecture, Marine and Ocean Engineering MSc gives you the knowledge and skills to manage complex engineering problems across the maritime sector.

Overview

In this course you’ll combine technical knowledge of marine technology engineering subjects with practical industrial applications. This will help you develop the ability to manage complex engineering problems.

There is growing demand for marine technology focused engineers in the “blue economy”. Areas such as decarbonisation of shipping, transition to net zero, deep-water offshore renewables and subsea exploration all need engineers with specialist skills. This programme has two streams for you to choose from:

  • Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
  • Marine Engineering

You’ll develop advanced expertise in naval architecture, marine and ocean engineering. We will equip you with the skills and knowledge to meet industry demand and drive innovation across the sector.

We designed this Master's for both practising professionals and new graduates in areas such as:

  • naval architecture
  • marine engineering
  • offshore engineering
  • subsea and pipeline engineering
  • offshore renewables
