School of
Marine Science
The School of
Marine Science and Technology is the largest and broadest-based marine school in
the UK, covering the fields of marine engineering, marine science, naval
architecture, offshore engineering, coastal management and small craft
technology, and enjoys a substantial international reputation. The School is
formed on excellent foundations established by the prior departments of Marine
Technology, and Marine Science and Coastal Management. For more information

Marine Technology
The School is housed in the Armstrong
Building, at the heart of the campus, which is also close to the centre of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The school is well equipped for a range of practical work
as well as having access to local workshops for periods of hands-on-experience.
In addition it is also the home of the Emerson Cavitation tunnel, the only
University in the UK to operate a Cavitation Tunnel and indeed the only
commercially operated tunnel in the UK. The tunnel was established in 1950 and
continues to gain world wide recognition with new and innovative research work.
For the FASTPOD project the Emerson Cavitation Tunnel will perform pod
maneuvering research. A history of the Emerson Cavitation Tunnel can be down
