Description

 

 

 

 

Our professionally accredited three-year Offshore Engineering BEng Honours degree is geared to the demands of the offshore engineering industry, but with a solid basis in engineering fundamentals.

You take offshore engineering topics such as marine structures, computational fluid dynamics and offshore mechanics.

The expertise of offshore engineers includes the oil and gas industry, offshore renewables such as wind farms and tidal energy capture devices, and other sectors such as thermal energy conversion or seabed mineral recovery.

You will gain the ability to design and produce fixed and floating offshore oil and gas production installations, and the crafts which service these and other offshore resource developments.

Quality and ranking

The quality of the marine technology study experience at Newcastle is recognised with an overall student satisfaction score of 100% in the 2013 National Student Survey.
