About this course
Master of Engineering in Maritime Engineering is a civil and coastal engineering degree centred on the design, construction, and testing of ships and ocean structures. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Data Analysis, Mathematical Modelling, Accounting, Engineering Design, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can specialise through pathways including Advanced Computational Engineering, Marine Engineering and Autonomy, Naval Architecture, International Naval Architecture, Ocean Energy and Offshore Engineering, and Yacht and High Performance Craft, with an individual project in year three and a group design project in the final year. The first year introduces foundational concepts through An Introduction to Engineering Design, Basic Naval Architecture, Data Science and Computing for Engineers, and Electrical and Electronics Systems. The second year expands technical capabilities with Engineering Management and Law, Hydrodynamics, Ship Design and Economics, and Systems Design and Computing. The third year incorporates advanced study through Control and Instrumentation, Individual Project, Marine Craft Concept Design, and Marine Engineering. The final year features core modules such as Advanced Electrical Systems, Group Design Project, Maritime Robotics, and Zero Carbon Ship Resistance and Propulsion. Optional modules allow further focus in areas like Advanced Finite Element Analysis, Intelligent Mobile Robotics, Project Risk Management, and Turbulence.
