PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN MARINE TECHNOLOGY

The Consortium

The Marine Technology Education Consortium (MTEC) is a consortium of six UK universities recognised for their excellence in marine technology education and research. MTEC offers professional development training in marine technology. The universities involved are Heriot-Watt, Glasgow, Newcastle, Strathclyde, Southampton and UCL. The combination of these universities provides an unmatched level of excellence in a wide range of technical subjects. Newcastle is the co-ordinating university.

The Concept

The aim of this programme is to meet the needs of both graduates and their employers. This scheme will provide graduates with the advanced technical and managerial skills needed to enhance innovation and business competitiveness. New and emerging technologies will be taught in conjunction with business and management applications.

The programme provides graduates with practical, flexible, supported training leading to recognised qualifications. The programme offers organisations the opportunity to develop and motivate key staff with minimum time disruption. The flexibility of the programme allows graduates and their employers to choose the programme most suited to their needs.

Programme Delivery

This innovative flexible training programme offers a range of modules which can be combined to achieve degree awards. The modules provide a means of acquiring new knowledge and enhancing skills in the specific areas they address.

MSc and Postgraduate Diploma degree awards are available in seven technology areas and a Postgraduate Certificate is also available. For those undertaking a MSc or Postgraduate Diploma, an industrially based project must be completed. The seven technology streams are Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering, Offshore Engineering, Classification and Survey, Conversion and Repair, Small Craft Design and Defence.

In addition, a “General” programme in Marine Technology may be followed, whereby students have a free choice from the specialist modules. Students following the General programme can also opt to take up to three modules offered by the Rolls-Royce Early Engineering Professional Development Scheme.

Modules are delivered by a combination of distance learning material and one week intensive ‘schools’. Each module has a credit rating of 10 points and requires 100 hours study time. MTEC modules are delivered in the following way:

- Pre-school material – to ensure familiarisation of the module subject. This will include directed reading, course notes, interactive learning and self assessment exercises (50 hours study time). Pre-school material is usually made available eight weeks before the start of the intensive school.

- Intensive week school – includes lectures, tutorials, case studies, presentations and demonstrations. The intensive school will include input from industrial experts (35 hours).

- Post school material and assignments – to consolidate the learning experience. Assignments are generally related to the student’s employment (15 hours).


Distance learning material will be delivered by either a web based software system (requiring access to a PC and web browser only) or in a paper format.

Modules will generally be assessed by a combination of assignments and a written examination held during the intensive week school.

Industrial Project

Students studying for a Postgraduate Diploma or a MSc award carry out an industrially based project and submit a dissertation for examination. The project should address a problem or issue related to the student’s organisation and is multi-disciplinary in nature to allow the application of a wide range of skills and knowledge. Students would normally conduct their industrial project with supervision provided by a suitably qualified person at their place of work and an academic supervisor.

Professional Accreditation

Each individual module is offered as a stand alone Continuing Professional Development module and all modules are recognised as CPD by IMarE and RINA. The MSc and Postgraduate Diploma programmes are approved as Matching Sections by IMarEST and RINA. Further details can be obtained from the Programme Administrator.
