Masters Degree Description

There’s a global shortage of well-qualified naval architects. Join us on this one-year Master’s to help fill this gap, and equip yourself to build a successful career in this specialist, fast-evolving field.

If you’re interested in working as an architect for naval or merchant ships, this course gives you a solid foundation in the theory, analysis and design expertise you’re going to need. 

Study ship dynamics and hydrodynamics, learn about ship structures, and get plenty of hands-on experience in the software and systems used to conduct advanced engineering analysis. 

Working as part of multidisciplinary teams, alongside marine engineers from UCL’s Marine Engineering MSc, you’ll build teamworking skills on a comprehensive group ship design exercise. 

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university in a suitable engineering subject or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
