    Dundee (Scotland)

  • Duration

    12 Months

  • Start date

    September

Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface area. It is a diverse environment with vast engineering problems requiring solutions. Engineers who can find innovative and sustainable ways to solve these issues are in high demand.

On this course, you will gain expertise in the fundamental research methods of marine hydrodynamics and ocean engineering. You also learn about its practical application, analysis and design.

You will apply theoretical, computational and experimental principles of hydrodynamics to traditional and contemporary problems of ocean engineering. This includes applications to coastal; offshore and subsea engineering; naval architecture and other related disciplines.

Our academic staff will support you through your studies. They are renowned internationally for their impact, contribution and extensive experience.

We work closely with experts to produce graduates with the skills to meet industry standards and requirements. We also comply with other stakeholder rules and regulations.

Field trips are an essential aspect of this course.

You will also have an opportunity to work in a team on a major marine renewable energy systems design project. This will incorporate the technical, economic, environmental, ethical, social, and liability considerations and constraints faced in industry. The Design module will be delivered in a close collaboration with the industry.

About this course

This course is designed both for those pursuing a higher degree who wish to become specialists in ocean engineering and related disciplines, soon or immediately after obtaining their first degree, and for those with considerable work experience.
There are excellent career opportunities within the industry. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the course, opportunities for graduates arise in:

renewable energy,
oil and gas,
coastal engineering,
offshore engineering,
naval architecture,
and subsea engineering sectors.

Applicants should normally have, or expect to have an honours degree at 2.2 or above, or equivalent professional or overseas qualifications, in a relevant academic discipline. For applicants with a non-technical degree, they should hold a 2:1 honours degree or above, and their suitability for one of the MSc programmes will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The University will be seeking accreditation from the Joint Board of Moderators, which comprises the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers in 2019.

Course programme

Core Modules

These provide skills generic to engineering and research. The two modules are:

  • CE50028 - Research Methods and Diploma Project
  • CE52002 - Health, Safety & Environmental Management
Specialist Modules

The specialist modules provide in-depth and advanced knowledge and build upon our recognised expertise in marine hydrodynamics and ocean engineering. These cover the following topics:

  • CE50031 - Hydrodynamics of Fluid-Structure Interaction
  • CE50032 - Numerical Methods and Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • CE50033 - Coastal Processes and Engineering Applications
  • CE50034 - Marine Renewable Energy and Design
Research Project

The research project consists two parts:

Students work on one project, the first part, CE50028 before April. Students who meet the requirements then complete CE50007.

  • CE50007 - MSc Research Project
  • CE50028 - Research Methods and Diploma Project
