Course Overview
Ship Science is a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering course unique to the University of Southampton. It applies engineering science to the field of ships and other maritime structures. This four year integrated masters Naval Architecture theme focuses on core naval architecture subjects such as resistance and propulsion, maneuvering, hydrodynamics, marine structures and materials. This theme is ideally suited to someone with an interest in the design, manufacture and operation of commercial ships. Naval architecture design and analysis are crucial for the life of a marine vessel or structure. You will learn to review and enhance design processes using computer-aided design and other computational and modelling techniques. In the first two years, you will study the core ship science topics, including basic naval architecture, fluids, materials and structures, marine hydrodynamics, ship design, ship production and engineering management and law. In years three and four, you will specialise in the naval architecture theme by following the theme compulsory and optional modules, such as ship manoeuvring and control, marine structures in fluids, finite element analysis in solid mechanics and advances in ship resistance and propulsion. You will also conduct an individual research project and a group design project aimed at solving real maritime engineering challenges for industry.
