Masters Degree , Marine Engineering

Course Description

The Marine Engineering MSc is concerned with the design, analysis and operation of machinery and systems for merchant and naval ships. The programme covers a wide range of engineering subjects relevant to the development and procurement of marine systems, and the programme features two parallel mechanical and electrical streams. What and how will I learn? The programme comprises study in analysis and design of propulsive systems and auxiliary equipment for marine vessels as well as the use of computers in advanced engineering analysis. Students develop an understanding of elements of engineering, alongside the skills necessary to apply their knowledge in a systematic and effective manner. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme offers two parallel streams, mechanical and electrical. The programme consists of four core courses (60 credits), two options (30 credits) a ship design exercise (45 credits) and an independent project (45 credits). Core Modules Advanced Computer Applications in Engineering Applied Thermodynamics and Turbomachinery Power Transmission and Auxiliary Machinery Systems Vibrations, Acoustics and Control Dissertationreport All students complete a ship design exercise, working on the design of a specific vessel, and undertake an independent research project which is either analytical or design, build and test in nature. Options EITHER: Heat Transfer & Heat Systems (Mechanical Stream) Heat Transfer & Heat Systems (Mechanical Stream) OR: Electrical Machines & Power Electronics (Electrical Stream) Electrical Power Systems & Electrical Propulsion (Electrical Stream) Further details available on subject website: http:www.mecheng.ucl.ac.uklearninggraduatemscmarine-engineering The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, coursework exercises and case studies. The taught courses are assessed through formal examination and coursework, the ship design exercise is assessed through a report and oral presentations, and the individual project is assessed through a report and presentation. Why should I study this degree at UCL? The UCL Department of Mechanical Engineering has seen, in recent years, unprecedented activity in refurbishing and re-equipping our laboratories. Highlights of this include an extensive workshop, four engine test cells of the highest specification, a new fluid mechanics laboratory, and a new towing tank for ship models. This MSc has been selected by the UK and Canadian Navies for the advanced training of its Marine Engineers. It also receives students from many other major maritime nations. Run in parallel with the Naval Architecture MSc, students from both programmes work together on a comprehensive and unique Ship Design Exercise. Your future career The programme is accredited under UK-SPEC by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST). There is currently a global shortage of well qualified Marine Engineers and consequently the job prospects are good. First destinations of recent graduates include: Ministry of Defence: Marine Engineer Royal Navy: Engineer Korean Shipping: Engineer Royal Navy: Sponsorship Administrator Ministry of Defence: Technical Development Engineer Royal Navy RN Commissioned Officer Entry Requirements A minimum of a second-class Honours degree from a UK university in a suitable engineering subject or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Candidates with qualifications in other subjects such as Physics will be considered. A knowledge of fluids and thermodynamics is essential and at least an understanding of basic electrical engineering. Ideally candidates will have had some experience of the marine environment. How to apply Students are advised to apply as early as possible due to competition for places. Those applying for scholarship funding (particularly overseas applicants) should take note of
