In this unit, students develop the techniques required for the design of surface vessels. They develop the conceptual and analytical skills necessary at a detailed level of ship design with a particular emphasis on design driver identification and initial parameter…

In this unit, students learn how to determine hydrostatic data for any hull form, and predict the influence of hull form on vessel stability characteristics. Students are also introduced to means of determining a vessel's global longitudinal strength and methods…

This unit provides students with the skills required to ensure that their engineering projects are thoroughly planned, well managed and successful. It focuses on project management methods, skills and strategies. Participants develop their knowledge through the application of these new…

Offshore Safety & Risk Analysis begins with introduction to safety issues, risk terms and terminologies in the marine and offshore industry. The other topics covered in detail are regulatory requirements; lessons learned & risk concepts from past accidents; hazards and…

This unit gives students an understanding of the functional purpose of the machinery systems used on board a variety of ships. This knowledge can then be applied to obtaining effective engineering design solutions for these systems, so that they can…

The unit facilitates the translation of theory learned across a range of prior and concurrent subjects within the Bachelor Degree course into practical application via hands-on projects conducted at sea aboard the AMC 35-metre vessel Bluefin. Additionally, students will be…

This unit is specifically designed for graduates requiring a rigorous yet applied and functional knowledge of signal conditioning and data acquistion appropriate for experiments carried out in the maritime field. The subject matter has been designed around the specific problems…

This unit introduces students to maritime hydrodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics to solve hydrodynamics problems. On successful completion of the unit, students should be able to:Develop and apply the mathematical formulation of the basic laws governing laminar, turbulent fluid flow…

This unit advances students' knowledge in the hydrodynamic and structural concepts governing the design and analysis of maritime vessels. Students advance their knowledge of science by applying it to design areas relevant to the maritime industry.…

This unit is specifically designed for graduates requiring an advanced knowledge of how to get significant engineering works published in peer-reviewed scientific publications. Students are shown: how to structure their writing; how to present data; and how to address reviewers'…

This unit is designed to provide students planning to undertake or who are undertaking research training with the skills and capacity to learn statistical techniques required for their research. The emphasis is on the conceptual understanding of statistical analyses commonly…

This unit develops the student's knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the Marine Superintendent and the management skills that are required for ensuring that the maintenance of all shipboard machinery and equipment is carried out to standards specified by…

This unit develops the student's knowledge of the role and responsibilities of Marine Surveyors and the skills that are necessary for carrying out marine survey work and the preparation of subsequent survey reports. It also considers a number of different…

Transformational Leadership is designed to enable students and those already employed in industry to further develop knowledge of what it is to lead and be led in an organisational environment characterised by rapid change and growing uncertainty. Studies will encompass…

This unit provides students with a detailed understanding of the quantitative techniques employed in the assessment of fished stocks. The unit covers fishery dependent and fishery independent data and its use in predictive modelling, mortality estimation, biomass and yield modelling,…

This unit provides students with a detailed understanding of fisheries biology and population dynamics. Biological concepts, morphology, behaviour, reproduction, and life histories strategies of fisheries species. The unit also covers the logistical and quantitative methodologies associated with undertaking a biological…

Environmental scientists increasingly need to deal with complex and large quantitative data sets collected from a variety of sources (i.e. remote sensing, moored instrumentation arrays and autonomous vehicles). As a result, computational and data analysis skills are highly desirable and…

This advanced unit provides the student with the opportunity to apply strategic management and planning processes to a fisheries case-study. On the successful completion of this unit, students will be able to critically appraise issues for the management of a…
