If you are looking for a career as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer, but want to specialise in the technology of marine systems, then this course is the one for you. Becoming an Engineer in the fields of marine and offshore technology offers global career opportunities. Graduates from the BEng (Hons) Marine Systems Technology are working in yacht design and construction; ship builders and designers; offshore consultants and even the Ministry of Defence. The course is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineers and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

The three year course follows many areas relevant to the technology of marine systems. Its aim is to give you a strong understanding and knowledge foundation of the broad subject area needed as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer. The course concentrates on three main areas: naval architecture, marine engineering and offshore engineering. Within these subjects lie many modules including: sub sea engineering; ship design; marine structures; systems design; power plant and equipment engineering.

Year One: The first year - or stage - provides you with the supporting knowledge that designers and engineers need in the area of drawing and design as well as an introduction to marine technology subjects.

Year Two: Stage two develops your knowledge and skills in the broad areas of the design of marine structures and vessels, and the design of marine plants and systems. Modules in engineering management and risk assessment will expand your skills.

Year Three: Independent study is an important part of this stage and you will undertake an individual research project, as well as broadening subjects in business and law.
