Mechanical Engineering with Subsea Technology - MEng (Hons)

This degree offers students the chance to specialise in the Subsea Industry and develop skills specific to this area, whilst still following the hugely popular Mechanical Engineering degree. This accredited Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Mechanical Engineering degree.The major difference is the compulsory courses in year 5, which include, Pipelines and Soil Mechanics, Subsea Production Systems, Risers Systems and Hydrodynamics.Aberdeen is a global hub for subsea development, technology and testing and the industry in Scotland exports innovative solutions and talented workforces to all corners of the globe. Subsea technologies will continue to develop in order to meet the changing needs of the industry and this will continue to open up career opportunities for talented individuals.The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and ElectricalElectronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.
