About your course
The professionally-accredited BEng (Hons) Marine and Mechanical Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University offers you exciting paid placement opportunities plus the chance to transfer onto the MEng programme, where you could secure a Masters-level qualification.

Completing this BEng degree will give you an in-depth understanding of the scientific principles and advanced design technology plus the problem solving and management skills required to be a successful marine engineer.

This is one of the UKs leading engineering departments, with a supportive staff team and excellent facilities including engine test facilities, full marine engine room and bridge simulators, materials testing laboratories and digital design studios, which you have full use of in practical sessions.

Links with national and international companies such as Bibby Line, Rolls Royce, Shell and Castrol mean that the course is tailored to the needs of employers and, as an extension of this, we offer you the opportunity to undertake a year paid placement in industry.

About the Foundation Year
The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the ability to study for a degree but dont have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Mechanical and Marine Engineering honours degree programme. Once you pass the Foundation Year you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).
