MSc Marine Technology - UK - Someone have information?

[Germán Hinojosa]

Hello, I am Industrial designer and I find to complete my formation whith a MSc or Postgraduate in Marine Engineering, Yacht Design or similar. I am Diver and I love the sea, and I like work all the time in this ambient. I have work in automotive company and in I+D+i center developing nautical proyects and I like increase my knowledge outside Spain.

I have find the MSc Marine Technology in UK, and I think is a so good option to me. The cours is a combination of distance-learning material and one-week intensive schools. For this I think I could work at the same time, in England or in Spain.

someone can advise me please?

I attach the program for this:

No responses? That's too bad. I am also very interested in this program. I've looked at it several times, but I'm just not sure if it is right for me. I think I will contact them in a couple of months and ask some questions.

Thank you Germán for the information. I was wondering if Venecia was more focused on design or engineering. Their website was not very clear.
