MSc Maritime Engineering Science

There are 7 themes (specialisations) within the Maritime Engineering Science programme of study. Each theme consists of 12 taught modules totalling 120 CATS points. At least 90 CATS points for each theme are at level M. This document illustrates which modules comprise each theme within the programme of study, together with the unit code and credit points associated with the module. The research project and dissertation are equivalent to 60 CATS points at level M.
