Course Overview
Ship Science is 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 Offshore Engineering theme will enable you to engineer shallow and deep water structures from offshore jackets to semisubmersibles. Offshore engineering structures are increasingly vital in the search for energy resources. You will learn about the structural design of fixed and floating structures, from semisubmersibles to Tension Leg Platforms (TLP). You will acquire the technical analysis tools to assess their operation and gain the ability and confidence to engineer shallow and deep water structures. 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 the offshore engineering theme following the theme compulsory and optional modules, such as ship manoeuvring and control, marine safety and environmental engineering, maritime robotics and offshore engineering and analysis. You will also conduct an individual research project and a group design project aimed at solving real maritime engineering challenges for industry.
