BEng course leads to an Honours degree accredited by the Engineering Council as part of the requirements for qualification as a Chartered Engineer. It places particular emphasis on the application of dynamic and structural analysis to the design of ships and fixed and floating offshore structures. Transfer to these MEng courses is possible at the end of second or third year, subject to appropriate academic performance.
Entry is to first, second or third year, depending on qualifications.
In the first two years you study engineering mathematics and basic engineering subjects alongside some introductory professional subjects related to hull shape, buoyancy and stability. In the third and fourth years you will study a wide range of professional subjects including dynamics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis and the design and construction of ship and offshore structures. This will lead to a substantial, individual project in your final year. Your Honours assessment will be based on your overall performance in these last two years. If you fall short of the requirements for an Honours degree you may be eligible for the award of a BSc Ordinary degree.
