Course options - Subsea Engineering

Bursaries available - up to £5,000 + fees*

Subsea engineering focuses on the deepwater issues of oil and gas exploitation. Operations have moved from relatively shallow water to depths that now demand totally different engineering solutions. The Subsea Engineering course addresses both the hardware that is used subsea, such as wellheads and separators, as well as important issues such as field layout, flow assurance and installation/maintenance.

This MSc course is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) for CEng, CMarTech and MIMarEST. The MSc has also been approved by the Energy Institute (EI) for membership, and as meeting the Engineering Council (UK)’s Further Learning requirements for Chartered Engineer registration under UK SPEC.

Students on this course benefit from access to a range of facilities including tanks where equipment used for subsea engineering can be tested.

The course comprises eight one-week assessed modules, a group project, and an individual thesis project.

Students complete six core modules with a further two optional modules selected from the list below in consultation with the Course Director. These provide the ‘tools’ required for the group and individual projects.
