Description

 

 

 

 

Our professionally accredited four-year Naval Architecture MEng Honours degree focuses the engineering behind the design, structure, operation and management of ships and other marine vehicles.

It includes a fourth year of advanced level study, during which you work in a group ship design challenge, which may be set by industry.

You'll also take specialist topics such as stability resistance and propulsion, marine structures and offshore mechanics.

You benefit from hands-on experience with our experimental facilities, including a model-testing tank, extensive computing facilities and the largest commercial propeller test tunnel in the country.

Quality and ranking

The quality of the marine technology study experience at Newcastle is recognised with an overall student satisfaction score of 100% in the 2013 National Student Survey.
