    MSc Programs in Marine Engineering

    A Master of Science is a master’s degree offered in science-based fields by various universities in many countries around the world. It is normally a two-year program that can include a blend of coursework, fieldwork and research, often culminating in a master’s thesis.

    What is an MSc in Marine Engineering? Master’s degrees in this large field of engineering generally cover the study of offshore architecture and the design, creation and maintenance of these structures and vessels. Learners might study the design and operation of ships, boats, submarines and other seagoing vessels.  Coursework and fieldwork might lay down a solid foundation of understanding propulsion systems, engines and power generation, along with principles of mechanical engineering.

    Graduates with an MSc in Marine Engineering are likely to understand mechanical systems at a high level, both on the job and at home. They commonly develop skills in Computer Assisted Design and have a good knowledge of applied mathematics to analyze and assess machine-driven structures, which can lead to promotions.

    For matters of cost, students should contact each university they are interested in. Low-residency programs and virtual classroom options might reduce the cost of a program; however, even these programs can differ in costs from school to school.

    Those who successfully complete a postgraduate program in marine engineering usually look for work in the boating industry, the military, the offshore oil industry and aquaculture. Positions could include the creation and design of new systems, maintenance of existing infrastructures and investigation of marine accidents. Specific job titles for graduates can include port engineer, ship engineer, sales engineer, port authority and marine surveyor.
