General information
Subsea engineering plays a vital role in the exploitation of oil and gas resources. The subsea engineering industry help to specify the curriculum so we meet their requirements. The course is designed for you as an experienced or recently graduated engineer who wants to develop your subsea knowledge.
The Subsea engineering course is designed for you as an experienced or recently graduated engineer who wants to develop your subsea knowledge. Your teaching modules operate in short 'intensive schools' with time after the module to complete the assignments, where applicable. They include: input from industry experts, site visits, industry-based projects and teaching from other disciplines.
Teaching consists of lectures, practical sessions, seminars and personal supervision covering a variety of topics in subsea engineering. Ten taught modules worth 120 credits are delivered in blocks through semester one and/or two. A dissertation or research project, worth 60 credits, is undertaken across the three semesters.
You will undertake a research project leading to a dissertation. This may be a critical review and/or computational or experimental project using the University's world leading testing facilities. The research project is supported by an academic supervisor and may be conducted with an industrial partner which, where appropriate, may be your employer.
Compulsory modules
- Subsea Control and Communication Systems
- Fundamentals of Subsea Engineering - Semester 1
- Materials, Corrosion and Flow Assurance Aspects
- Reliability and Integrity Management of Subsea Systems
- Subsea Surveying, Positioning and Installation
- Design and Manufacture of Pipelines, Risers and Umbilicals
- Dynamics of Subsea Installations
- Business Enterprise in Science and Engineering
- Subsea Engineering and Management Project (Dissertation/research project)
as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). As a CPD student you can choose whether to complete the module assessments or just attend teaching sessions. You will be awarded a certificate accordingly. If you successfully complete 60 credits of CPD module assessments you can be awarded a PG Certificate qualification. Alternatively, you can request to transfer onto the part time MSc course after successfully completing two or three modules.
