if you are intrested in building and manufactuing of small boats like yachts and dinghys then go to solent if you want to work on tankers and stuff go to southampton. i have mates who have made the mistake on thinking that it would be small boat stuff at southampton. to be honest solent has the better socal life as well. and is nearer the town. |

trust me it isnt. what type of work are you planning to go into. if you ask people in industry you will find that solent is just as good even better. It just looks it becasue they requie more points.

Maybe, but of the designers I'm familar with John Spencer and Russ Bowler both trained as architects, Farr didn't do a degree at all I don't think, and Paul Bieker, whilst a trained Naval architect, nakes his living from tankers and stuff, so I don't know that its that essential to do a degree in yachts to work with them. And it may make sense not to work with what you most want to do in your spare time... But hey, I'm no career guidance expert (you should see what my "career" is) so I could be talking BS. |

The Bieker example is kind of what im hoping for in an ideal world, I
think theres a lot more oppertunities to be had and money to be made
working with the tankers etc, but hopefully I can still work with small
boats on the side.

If you want a decent engineering degree go to southampton uni. Ship science despite the name comes under the school of engineering sciences along with mech eng and aero and is an engineering course. For engineering soton uni is one of the best in the country and the department is well regarded. As far as I know the course(s) run at the institute are quite different and I have no idea about it's reputation in the yachting industry or any other. One thing to bear in mind is that the institute has only just got university status with nowhere near the reputation and ranking that the university has which is ultimately what matters. Choose wisely and look at where the graduates from these courses are working. As for how far away Netley/Weston are, you WILL need a car to get there. It's 3 junctions down the M27 from where you will be. Edited by m_liddell |

That is a valid point but you forget about the warsash campus where there is a large range of enginearing courses that are highly credited. anyway going leave it now. Solent is the best and the v necks Suck |
