About this course
Our Engineering Fluid Mechanics for the Offshore, Coastal and Built Environments provides training to a new generation of Engineers in Fluid Mechanics. The course is both theoretical and practical, with a strong design component to ensure practical knowledge of the discipline. There are pre-session modules in Mathematics and the specialist software Matlab, ensuring all students have a solid understanding of the fundamentals. Once the fundamentals have been covered you move onto in-depth modules in modelling, transport, computation, coastal processes and energy systems. You will complete a research project in a relevant area of your choice, ensuring you can produce an in-depth written piece on a topic suiting your personal interests or future career intentions.
All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...

Course programme
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.
All of our MSc courses last one calendar year, comprising two terms of taught material, assessed by examination and coursework, followed by a five-month period involving one or more design projects and/or a research dissertation.
ModulesAll students undertake 14 modules, two pre-session and six in each of the first two terms.
Pre-sessionPre-session modules are not assessed, and aim to ensure all students have a similar level of knowledge at the start of the course.
- Mathematics Primer
- Matlab Primer
The below modules take place in term time, and are assessed.
- Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals
- Modelling Tools
- Transport Processes
- Wave Mechanics
- Buoyancy-driven Flows
- Experiments & Paper Review
- Computational Analysis
- Fluid Loading
- Coastal Processes
- Energy Systems
- Urban Fluid Mechanics
- Design Projects
The MSc Research Project makes up one third of this qualification and will rely upon significant independent study and original research.
Part-time studyAll of our MSc courses are also offered on a part-time basis. Methods of study may include:
- One and a half days per week over two years
- Term release
The term release option normally involves attendance in the autumn term of one year and the spring term of a second year, but this may vary from one course to another, depending on your personal circumstances.
The dissertation is undertaken with regular guidance from a College supervisor, by private study or by arrangement at your place of employment.
Please contact the relevant course director for details of the part-time arrangements for each course.
