Marine Conservation and Policy
This module is only open to Year 3 students registered on MSci Biology and Marine Biology, BSc Biology and Marine Biology, BSc Marine Biology with Oceanography, MSci Marine Biology and Oceanography, MSci Marine Biology and BSc Marine Biology degrees. MSc Oceanography, MRes Ocean Sciences or MSci students who took a Semester Abroad can take the Level 6 dual-coded option.
This module will cover a range of issues surrounding marine conservation and policy, split into three sections. We will initially focus on the causes and consequences of the current biodiversity concerns, then investigate strategies for marine biodiversity management and monitoring and emphasise the importance of ecological models for predicting and improving conservation outcomes. -

Marine Craft Concept Design
Transforming an owner's vision into a feasible marine craft is one of the most creative and challenging aspects of naval architecture. Successful concept design requires engineers to balance performance, safety, regulations, cost, sustainability and operational requirements while working collaboratively across multiple technical disciplines.
In this module, you will work as part of a design team to develop a marine craft from an initial concept through to a professionally presented design proposal. You will translate mission requirements into technical specifications, determine key dimensions and operational characteristics, and assess compliance with relevant regulations. Through regular design reviews and team-based activities, you will develop skills in systems thinking, project management, communication and multidisciplinary engineering integration.
By the end of the module, you will be able to undertake a structured concept design process and justify engineering decisions using technical, regulatory and commercial considerations. The experience gained will prepare you for advanced design projects and the collaborative environment of professional engineering practice. -

Marine Craft Concept Design
Developing the overall design of a marine craft to meet owner’s requirements together with relevant statutory regulations is fundamental to the practice of naval architecture. This module entails the development of a marine craft design to concept stage, taking due account of the owner’s requirements and craft mission to derive craft dimensions and operating characteristics. The design is developed in sufficient detail to allow preliminary weight and cost estimates to be made and checks against statutory regulations for safety and environmental performance to be conducted. Students work as a design team, with each responsible for individual technical and managerial aspects of design, working together to integrate components. Regular ‘design review’ interviews are held throughout the module.

Marine Engineering
Marine power and auxiliary systems are at the heart of modern ships, providing the energy needed for propulsion, onboard services and safe operation. Understanding how these systems function is essential for engineers involved in vessel design, operation and maintenance.
In this module, you will develop the engineering knowledge required to understand and evaluate marine power plants, drive trains and supporting ship systems. You will explore the principles underlying machinery operation, thermodynamic performance, energy conversion and vibration behaviour, while developing the analytical skills needed to assess system efficiency and performance. Throughout the module, theory will be linked to practical engineering applications encountered across the maritime industry.
By the end of the module, you will be able to analyse and compare marine engineering systems, assess their performance characteristics and understand the factors that influence their design. This knowledge provides a strong foundation for advanced study in ship systems, energy technologies and maritime engineering practice. -
