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 interdisciplinary theme is designed to provide broad coverage of the subject and focus more on project-based and engineering management skills. Ship Science is an interdisciplinary course, you will learn the essential areas of computational design and modelling techniques, marine law and risk management to prepare you for the job market. You also have an option to take a language module. 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 have a broader coverage of the subjects in the theme compulsory and optional modules, such as accounting and finance for engineers, design search and optimisation, human factors in engineering and applications of CFD. You will also conduct an individual research project and a group design project aimed at solving real maritime engineering challenges for industry.
