Naval architects and marine engineers deal with the world’s most significant moving structures and most potent vehicles – from huge ships to sailing yachts, from fast ferries to offshore wind turbines and oil platforms.
Marine engineering is the engineering speciality of design, construction, installation and operation of machinery and propulsion systems for ships and marine structures.
This degree aims to develop engineers capable of dealing with engineering challenges on a wide range of marine vehicles, with additional skills and understanding of the impact and importance of marine engineering on their successful design, construction, repair, and maintenance.
In addition to core Naval Architecture subjects, you'll study a range of specialised marine engineerings subjects, such as control theory and practice, electrical systems, design of marine engines (diesel, diesel-electric and gas turbine), propeller and shafting systems, system design and simulation, green technology and fuel cell technology.
