Offshore Engineering MEng Honours UCAS Code: H356  (4 years)

Course outline: These degrees have been developed in consultation with the offshore industry in order to meet its increasingly specialist demands. Successful graduates will 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.

Programme Delivered by:

Stage 1: All students take a common Stage 1 (see All Degrees below).

Stage 2: You study marine engineering, dynamics and production technology in addition to offshore mechanics, marine structures (including composite materials), powering of marine vehicles and soil mechanics. You also take related modules in mathematics, computing and marine management.

Stage 3: You undertake an individual design project together with a report, which take a quarter of your study time throughout the year. In addition, you take modules in offshore engineering analysis, marine structures and offshore design.

Stage 4: A combined group project and report counts for a third of your time. You 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 marine management subjects.

Marine Technology - All Degrees

All MEng and BEng students take a common Stage 1, which ensures that they have a firm foundation in engineering science, mathematics and computing as well as in the basics of marine engineering and naval architecture.

After this common first year, you follow the MEng or BEng Honours Option you applied for. Flexibility in the degree structures allows transfer between all MEng courses and the Marine Technology BEng Honours Option programmes up to the end of Stage 1, subject to satisfactory academic achievement.

Engineering - Professional Accreditation

At Newcastle we have a policy of gaining Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation by the relevant UK professional engineering institution for all our BEng and MEng degrees, in line with the Engineering Council UK's nationally published recommendations on professional accreditation. Accredited MEng degrees exempt you from further study on the route to CEng status, while accredited BEng degrees will require a further period of study to enable you to gain CEng status.
