What will I learn?

Design, analyse and operate systems for merchant and naval ships, on the same Master’s degree the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence use to train their advanced marine engineers. With this comprehensive MSc, you’ll master the analysis and design of propulsive systems and auxiliary equipment for the latest marine vessel designs. Through industrial lectures, a group ship design project, individual research and practical activities, you’ll learn to apply marine engineering knowledge systematically and effectively in any given maritime context. Covering a wide range of specialisms relevant to marine engineering, this Master’s also provides optional modules in vibrations and acoustics or control and robotics, allowing you to follow your own marine engineering interests. By the time you graduate, you’ll have worked alongside a broad spectrum of naval and commercial shipping industry partners – and you’ll have all the engineering knowledge and necessary experience you need to flourish as a leading member of the maritime professional and research community. The UCL Marine Engineering MSc is the advanced training programme of choice for the naval forces of many of the world’s major maritime nations, including the Royal Navy (UK), the Royal Canadian Navy and the Ministry of Defence (UK). This programme is for students with a relevant first degree - for example, in engineering, physics or applied mathematics who want to enhance their technical skills, knowledge, and understanding in this maritime field. It will prepare you either for further research or for roles as Chartered Professional Engineers or in higher levels of management and procurement in the marine engineering sector.
