General information
This programme was developed following an increase in demand for design engineers who can design and assess new ships and offshore structures. It is designed for graduate engineers or those from related disciplines who will be introduced to ultimate strength, fatigue and design concepts for structural components of ships and offshore floating systems. The programme will provide students with knowledge of material behaviour together with factors influencing the dynamic behaviour of offshore installations.
There are two teaching periods (semesters) of 12 weeks each. The first semester is usually from the beginning of October and the second semester starts around the end of January. Some of the second semester subjects are taught over eight weeks so that the students can devote as much time as possible to their individual project work. Students are required to accumulate 180 credits for MSc and 120 credits for Postgraduate Diploma. Most of the taught modules are worth 12 credits each and each 12-credit module is normally taught over 20 hours lecture and 10 hours tutorial.
The course has three components: Instructional Modules, Group Project, Individual Project (MSc only).
Instructional Modules
- Risers and Mooring lines
- Dynamics of Marine Floating Offshore Installations
- Reliability-Based Marine Structural Design including Plated Structures
- Finite Element Analysis of Floating Structures
- Advanced Marine Structures
- Computational Modelling of Problems in Structural Mechanics
- Materials Engineering
Group project. You’ll be part of a group of three to five people in ‘consultant teams’ for 10 weeks addressing a practical engineering problem. You’ll then have the opportunity to present the report to a panel of industrial experts.
This project will enhance your team working and communication skills. It also provides valuable access to industrial contacts.
It will give you a good understanding of all aspects of research work. In addition, the technological study must be accompanied by survey of the relevance and applicability of the findings to the maritime industries at large.
You'll learn efficient ways to gather information, to distribute workload and to delegate amongst the group, to analyse their results and to appreciate the broader implications of the whole project. In-depth technological studies will be accompanied by increasingly important competence in managerial skills, quality assurance and a sound appreciation of the economic, political, social and environmental issues crucial to professional success.
Individual project (MSc only). MSc students will take on an individual dissertation on a topic of their own interest. The aim of the individual project is to develop your research skills and to combine many of aspects learned from other modules within a specific topic. This will be achieved by you carrying out work into a particular topic relating to your chosen theme and preparing a dissertation.
Facilities. We have excellent teaching facilities including:
- Catalina - our departmental racing yacht
- Kelvin Hydrodynamics Lab - the largest ship-model experiment tank in any UK university
- Towing/wave tank exclusively for teaching purposes
- Marine engine laboratory
- Hydrogen fuel cell laboratory
- Cutting-edge computer facilities
- Industry standard software
