This programme aims to meet the needs of graduates and their employers. It is run by a consortium of five UK universities (mtec@work), recognised for their excellence in marine technology education and research: Heriot-Watt, Newcastle, Strathclyde, Southampton and University College London. Normally all students are in full-time, marine-sectored employment.
Programme structure
There are eight technology streams available in the MSc and PG Dip programmes (a PG Cert course is also available): Classification and Survey; Conversion and Repair; Defence; General stream; Marine Engineering; Naval Architecture; Offshore Engineering; and Small Craft Design.
Modules are also offered as stand-alone CPD (approved by the Institute of Marine Engineers and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects), which may be suitable for those requiring specific subject training. Teaching is delivered by a combination of distance learning material and one-week intensive schools, with pre-school preparation and post-school assignments for modules, each of which has a credit rating of 10 points and requires 100 hours’ study time.
