BEng Hons Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering

Study with us access facilities such as our towingwave tank, engine lab, virtual reality lab and full mission ship bridge simulator train to use the Department’s 33-foot racing yacht benefit from international work placement opportunities sponsorship and scholarship opportunities study topics such as subsea engineering, risk management and reliability analysis. Why this course As a naval architecture student, you’ll learn to predict the stability and safety of ships, as well as their strength, speed, powering and propulsion requirements. You’ll discover how to calculate the motions of ships and other floating structures in rough seas, and how to estimate their reliability and safety in extreme conditions. Ocean engineering deals with the technical aspects of fixed and floating marine structures and systems related to harnessing ocean resources. These include offshore oil and gas and the rapidly expanding area of ocean renewable energy, as well as other ocean resource activities such as subsea mining and aquaculture. The degree aims to develop graduates capable of dealing with engineering challenges on a wide range of marine vehicles from tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and giant cruise liners to tidal current turbines and oilgas platforms. In addition to core naval architecture subjects, you'll study a range of specialised ocean engineering subjects and subjects related to the design of novel ship and offshore structures such as risk management and reliability analysis, station-keeping and control and subsea engineering. For BEng students with the appropriate level of academic performance the opportunity to transfer on MEng programme is available.
