Course Overview
Ship Science is a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering course unique to the University of Southampton. It applies engineering science to the field of ships and other maritime structures. This four year integrated masters Advanced Materials theme focuses on the use of advanced materials such as composites in ships and other maritime structure. This theme is ideally suited to someone with an interest in the manufacturing of advanced marine craft such as super yachts. You will examine new materials and their properties for the design of marine vehicles and structures and work closely with the Engineering Materials Group. You will be taught computational design and modelling techniques and gain the confidence in their applications. In the first two years, you will study the core ship science topics, including basic naval architecture, fluids, materials and structures, marine hydrodynamics, ship design, ship production and engineering management and law. In years three and four, you will specialise in your advanced materials theme by following the theme compulsory and optional modules, such as failure of materials and components, microstructural engineering for transport applications, surface engineering and composite engineering design and mechanics. You will also conduct an individual research project and a group design project aimed at solving real maritime engineering challenges for industry.
