Aimed at both practising engineers and recent graduates, this programme is designed to equip students with the skills needed to work in a wide variety of roles in the offshore engineering sector, including oil and gas and renewables.

Scotland is leading the way in developing offshore wind technology. The established offshore engineering expertise built up during a 50-year period of leadership in oil and gas has meant Aberdeen has emerged as a major hub for offshore renewables. There are currently 6 offshore wind farms in operation in Scotland, 3 of which are off the coast of Aberdeen, including Hywind, the world's first commercial wind farm using floating wind turbines.

The MSc Offshore Engineering programme draws upon the School of Engineering's strengths in both subsea engineering and renewable energy engineering, to meet the growing demand for expertise in repurposing technology associated with subsea oil and gas production and infrastructure installation for the offshore renewables industry.

The programme is therefore designed to be accessible to applicants from a wide range of engineering disciplines such as civil, petroleum or mechanical engineering, but also electrical and electronic engineers interested in a career in subsea controls.

A unique strength of the MSc Offshore Engineering programme at Aberdeen is the inclusion of courses on marine renewables and marine environment impact assessments, alongside courses on subsea construction, which gives our graduates greater opportunities across the wider field of marine energy. This aspect of the programme appeals to engineers working within the subsea oil and gas industry, who are looking to diversify towards offshore renewable energy.

This programmes holds accreditation from The Energy Institute, The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology, Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), and Institution of Mechanical Engineers ensuring that the curriculum is designed and delivered to the highest professional standards.
