Our Maritime 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 maritime engineering subjects with practical industrial applications. This will help you develop the ability to manage complex engineering problems.

You’ll focus on the professional responsibilities of engineers, including:

  • health and safety
  • diversity and inclusion
  • cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters
  • codes of practice and industry standards specific to the maritime sector

There is growing demand for maritime 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 four streams for you to choose from:

  • Naval Architecture
  • Marine Engineering
  • Subsea and Pipeline
  • Offshore Renewables

You’ll gain knowledge and skills in maritime engineering, equipping you with the tools to meet this demand.

We designed this MSc for both practising professionals and new graduates in areas such as:

  • naval architecture
  • marine engineering
  • offshore engineering
  • subsea and pipeline engineering
  • civil engineering
  • mechanical engineering

Our Master's in Maritime Engineering covers topics associated with:

  • offshore renewable energy systems
  • subsea systems
  • marine technology
  • maritime structures
  • hydrodynamics
  • marine propulsion
  • energy and environmental performance
  • data analytics
