The Ship science team will be welcoming visitors this summer and autumn as part of the University of Southampton’s  Open Days.

Talks will give opportunities to learn more about the maritime sector and the exciting careers possible with a degree in Ship Science as well as demonstrations in our impressive 138 m long , 6 m wide and 3.5 m long wave and towing tank.
Maritime is a rapidly growing sector where there is significant skills shortage. A recent article by the chair of Maritime UK, Ocean economy offers UK a trillion pound opportunity in undiscovered gold and precious metals highlights what are seen as the many opportunities enabled by the 4th industrial revolution enabled by digital technology. Ship scientists and maritime engineers are at the heart of the application of the new developments in technology ensuring that these can be applied safely and in an environmentally sensitive way.
 

Our staff and students will be on hand to explain and answer any questions you might have.
