Course Overview

The course concentrates on sailing and motor yachts over 24 meters in length and is intended not just for naval architects and students of yacht design, but also now provides suitably qualified marine engineers and certified deck officers with experience in operating superyachts the opportunity to develop their qualifications, where traditionally the career path for yacht officers has not enabled them to progress onto pure naval architecture degrees. The blend of naval architecture (for which sea-going officers will have underpinning knowledge), management, and structural design will enable students from these backgrounds to develop their knowledge and understanding, and introduce new and relevant material and subjects for masters level study. Course delivery is based on €˜hands-on active learning, with an emphasis on developing students analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as gaining the appropriate knowledge to tackle an individual design or analysis project. Students benefit from strong industry links built through the Universitys highly-regarded yacht engineering undergraduate degrees, as well as experienced teaching staff with industrial and research experience.

General Eligibility

First or 2:1 in an appropriate engineering/technology subject, or professional qualification to Chief Engineer or Master Mariner with appropriate experience.
