General information

The Technology in the Marine Environment MRes provides research training, supervision and collaboration to international standards in the topics covered by the marine technology research groups. The MRes breaks down into approximately 40% taught modules and 60% research in collaboration with an industrial partner.

We hold joint meetings of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). You are invited to join these meetings as they offer vital insight into the workings of professional bodies. Moreover, the annual Postgraduate Research Conference provides you with an opportunity to share research experience and practise vital presentation skills.

Your research project will normally be in one of the areas addressed by the marine technology research groups:

  • Marine Hydrodynamics and Structures
  • Marine Design, Production and Operations
  • Sustainable Maritime Engineering
  • New Energy Infrastructure

Compulsory modules

  • Design and Implementation of Experiments
  • Research Skills and Commercial Awareness
  • Dissertation: MRes 

Optional modules
You will select an approved combination of optional modules to a total value of 40 credits from the following:

  • Pollution Monitoring
  • Business and Environmental Management
  • Energy Management
  • Sustainable Design and Manufacture I
  • Sustainable Industry
  • Advanced Hydrodynamics
  • Fundamentals of Naval Architecture
  • Fundamentals of Marine Engineering
