Marine Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical Options) MSc

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits. The programme offers two parallel streams, mechanical and electrical.

The programme consists of four core modules (60 credits), two options (30 credits), a ship design exercise (45 credits) and an independent project (45 credits).

• Advanced Computer Applications in Engineering
• Applied Thermodynamics and Turbomachinery
• Power Transmission and Auxiliary Machinery Systems
• Vibrations, Acoustics and Control

• Either:
• Heat Transfer and Heat Systems (Mechanical Stream)
• Materials and Fatigue (Mechanical Stream)
• Or:
• Electrical Machines and Power Electronic Systems (Electrical Stream)
• Electrical Power Systems & Electrical Propulsion (Electrical Stream)

All students complete a ship design exercise, working on the design of a specific vessel, and undertake an independent research project which is either analytical or design, build and test in nature.

This dynamic programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, coursework exercises and case studies. The taught modules are assessed through formal examination and coursework, the ship design exercise is assessed through a report and oral presentations, and the individual project is assessed through a report and presentation. Visits to the marine industry are also offered.
