Ship Science with Industrial Placement Year

About this course

Ship Science, or naval architecture as it is formally known, is the engineering discipline concerned with the design, construction, and performance of ships and marine structures. It draws on fluid mechanics, structural engineering, materials science, and propulsion systems to create vessels that must be safe, efficient, and seaworthy across a vast range of conditions. As global trade, offshore energy, and marine technology continue to evolve, the skills of naval architects remain in consistent demand worldwide. This integrated master's degree at the University of Southampton spans five years and includes an industrial placement year, giving you extended experience in a professional engineering environment before you graduate. The course provides a broad mechanical engineering foundation and then applies it specifically to the maritime domain. You will study design, mechanics, and hydro
