MEng (Hons) Marine Technology with Placement Year

Are you captivated by the technical side of the marine environment? Our marine technologists are engineers focused on engineering for life at sea. As problem solvers, engineers design, create and use tools in every industry from nanotech to agritech. You will develop skills in the fundamentals of engineering as well as in marine engineering and naval architecture. Our students use laboratory sessions to reinforce learning and are taught by enthusiastic staff with strong industry links.Our accredited BEng Marine Technology is designed to start your journey to becoming a qualified professional marine engineer. Our engineering courses rely strongly on practical work and you will develop your design skills throughout the course. We offer the opportunity to undertake a paid placement year to help consolidate and develop your engineering knowledge and many students receive job offers as a result of their time in industry.Our BEng and MEng Mechanical Engineering and MarineTechnology course can all be taken with composites engineering as aspecialist pathway. For more advice on which course is right for you, see our ‘Which course?’ advice.  Key features Optional ‘with composites’ pathwayavailable In year 4, you have the option to choose a specialist’with composites’ pathway, which allows you to study the design and manufactureof specialist materials. Should you wish to choose this route, ‘withcomposites’ will appear as a named specialism on your degree certificate toacknowledge your specialism in this area.Take your studies a step further This four year integrated masters programme takes your learning and expertise development all the way to masters level.Makeuse of cutting-edge facilitiesWhen our newengineering and design facility is launched, students in engineering,science and the arts will have access to a range of specialist equipment andinnovative laboratories.Join the upperranks Inthe Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), also known as the ShanghaiRanking, we are eighth out of 50, and the highest ranked UK university, forMarine/Ocean Engineering.Open thedoor to a successful future With starting salaries from £23,000, ourgraduates have gone on to work for Hoare Lea,Babcock Marine, BectonDickinson, e2v, Edwards, the Shaw Group and the Ministryof Defence.Define yourself with an accredited degree The course has been designed to fully satisfy theeducational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).Be flexible Our combinedfirst year allows you to switch to mechanical engineering or civil engineeringin line with your career ambitions.Be unique Our coursesare the only ones in the country to have a named ‘with composites’ pathway;choosing this will allow you to stand out in the job market.Learn hands-on We offer the latestindustry-standard software, laboratory sessions and practical classes.Put learning into practice Take a paid year in industry – many of our students receive joboffers or sponsorship as a result of their placements.Go on to thrive Your degree opens doors to sectors as diverse as vessel design, naval architecture, ship safety,propeller design and manufacturing or engine energy efficiency.
