The marine technology sector is currently thriving worldwide and in many areas there are acute shortages of skilled personnel.

UK-based and multinational companies have a demand for degree-qualified:
 

• marine engineers
• naval architects
• experts in computer-aided design
• engineering specialists
• production specialists and managers
• surveyors
• research and policy development

A large proportion of Marine Technology graduates find employment in:
 

• the ship and offshore construction industry
• shipping and offshore companies
• government departments
• classification societies
• regulatory agencies and consultancy firms
• offshore renewable energy generation

The development of deep-water oil and gas recovery has increased demand for specialists in the design and operation of offshore vessels and processing plants.

An increasing number of graduates enter careers in the design and manufacture of yachts, luxury cruisers and high-speed passenger craft.

A number of our students also go on to postgraduate study and research into new technologies.
