MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency

The MSc Maritime Energy Efficiency programme, designed by LJMU, aims to fill a gap in the maritime industry by offering specialist modules on energy efficiency, marine environmental protection, and maritime cyber security. The programme, which combines engineering, renewable, and maritime teaching and research, is designed to provide a holistic solution for shipping, ports, and shipyards. The one-year program is built around three subject specialist modules: 'Conventional Fuels and Alternative Energy Sources', 'Marine Environmental Protection', and 'Energy Efficiency (Ships and Ports)'. The unique content covers topics not often seen in higher education, making it suitable for personnel transitioning from seafaring careers or those progressing into management roles in shore-based ship management. The programme design considers the integration of technological and regulatory developments into industrial operations, ensuring students have a distinct standing in the industry and career progression to senior management roles.

• An honours degree or equivalent in Maritime, Naval Architecture, Transport, Logistics, Business, Management or related studies.
• Applicants with an unclassified degree and significant relevant industrial experience as ship operators, superintendents, port and shipyard managers and other maritime professionals may be considered.
• Evidence of experiential learning in the maritime industry, such as a Master Mariner or Chief Engineer Certificate of Competence.
