BEng (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.
- 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.
- Makeuse of cutting-edge facilities
When 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 an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially satisfy theeducational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and is accredited by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and 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 courses are 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.
- Aim higher
You may progressonto the MEng course at the end of your second year if you are doing well.
- 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.
