This programme aims to equip the next generation of pipeline engineers with appropriate qualifications. It is designed to meet the specific requirements of the oil and gas sector, covering both high-pressure offshore and onshore pipelines. It is highly regarded by prospective employers and will enable you to practise as a pipeline engineer. A unique feature of this programme is the high level of participation by the oil and gas industry in specifying the curriculum so that it meets their requirements.
For the MSc you take compulsory modules, and a research project and dissertation.
For the PGDip and PGCert you undertake both compulsory modules and optional modules.
The programme is also available with a Preliminary Year, which is designed for students who have a qualification from a technical college rather than an Honours degree. Typically, you select one core module, and also take optional modules and complete a project and report.
