MSc Naval Architecture

The Naval Architecture MSc course offered at University College London (UCL) is designed to provide students with knowledge and skills focused on ship design, marine and offshore engineering. The program emphasizes the use of engineering science and mathematics in practical applications relevant to the marine industry. It provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of naval architecture such as concept design, performance, safety and legislation.Course Content: The course is taught over a total of 12 months and includes lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory works, and a research project which forms a significant part of the course. Key course contents are Hydrodynamics, Ship Structures, Ship Design, Safety and Reliability, Marine Engineering Design, and Design Management.Key Modules: The course encompasses several modules including Engineering Challenge, Marine Engineering, Ship Design Exercise, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Optional Modules, and Marine/Offshore Structures. An individual research project is also a significant part of the Masters programmeAccreditations: The Naval Architecture MSc is accredited jointly by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) on behalf of the UK Engineering Council as satisfying the educational requirements for further learning, leading to Chartered Engineer (CEng).Future Careers: Graduate naval architects from the UCL can become involved in design and manufacturing, operation and sales within the maritime industry. Also, several graduates have taken on diverse roles other than marine engineering such as engineering consultancy, postgraduate research, finance, and IT.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
