UCAS code: H355 (H356 MEng)
Duration: 3 years (4 years MEng)
This degree has been developed in close consultation with the offshore industry and is design to meet its increasing demands.
Successful graduates have the education and skills to design fixed and floating offshore oil and gas production installations and vessels, and to work in other sectors such as thermal energy conversion or seabed mineral recovery. They also have knowledge applicable in all areas of engineering. Our students benefit from the use of our well equipped laboratories, computing and other outstanding facilities.
All students take common modules for Stage 1 of all our Marine Technology programmes. These foundation studies lead to a variety of topics in Stage 2, including compulsory modules:
As Stage 2 course is the same for BEng and MEng courses, it is possible to transfer to the MEng at this point.
BEng options
In Stage 3 you undertake a combined individual design project and report and also study offshore vehicle design, offshore engineering analysis, marine structures, drilling engineering and offshore design. A quarter of your modules are optional and are chosen from a comprehensive list of technical, business and management subjects.
In Stage 4 a combined group project and report counts for a third of your time and you also study drilling engineering and offshore vehicle design. Approximately half of your modules at Stages 3 and 4 are optional and are chosen from a comprehensive list of technical, business and management subjects.
