Introducing your degree
Ship Science is a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering course unique to the University of Southampton. It applies engineering science to the field of ships and other maritime structures. This four year integrated masters Naval Architecture theme focuses on core naval architecture subjects such as resistance and propulsion, maneuvering, hydrodynamics, marine structures and materials. This theme is ideally suited to someone with an interest in the design, manufacture and operation of commercial ships.

Course programme

Year 1

In year one, physical principles are translated by mathematical application into engineering science and design practice, providing the basics of ship science and a broad base in engineering. Computing and CAD are emphasised as important features of the course. A total of 120 credits across two semesters.

We have an award winning induction programme during which teams of new students work together to design, build and test a bulk carrier. This exciting introduction provides the opportunity to get to know fellow students, gain hands-on experience and compete in a sea trial based in the University Jubilee swimming pool. It sets the context for the first year, and provides a preview of the Ship Science course that follows.
