Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Undergraduate Degrees

What is Marine Engineering?

Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture are, in simple terms, ‘Engineering for the sea’.

You'll study a range of marine engineering systems; from a ship's main propulsion engines, to auxiliary machinery. Alongside this, you will investigate how pumps and power, water, air and hydraulics systems work, whilst exploring the mechanical systems of a variety of marine constructions, such as oil platforms and subsea systems.
