Course content

Our MTEC courses are delivered through a combination of:

  • distance learning materials
  • intensive schools.

These courses allow a flexible approach to study in a supportive environment. They are part time and offer minimal disruption to your work responsibilities.

Our course material is highly relevant and practical for working in the marine industry. You'll reflect on the industrial relevance of the modules in relation to your work.

The Marine Technology Education Consortium deliver these courses. They are a consortium of leading UK universities. They teach one general and three specialist pathways leading to different awards:

  • Marine Technology: General (MSc, PGDip, PGCert)
  • Marine Technology: Marine Engineering (MSc, PGDip)
  • Marine Technology: Naval Architecture (MSc, PGDip).

The availability of these specialised pathways ensures that the course is tailored to suit your professional needs. The general MSc and Postgraduate Diploma is available for those seeking a broader-based study package.

Each pathway has compulsory modules. The number will vary depending on the relevant stream and qualification.
