Course Overview
Teaching consists of lectures, practical sessions, seminars and personal supervision covering a variety of topics in offshore engineering. You also choose an individual dissertation project. This may be theoretical, experimental or the development of a simulation model of hydrodynamics and/or structural strength of offshore systems. Research strengths include: hydrodynamics of deep water offshore structures, pipeline and subsea systems, structural analysis of offshore structures, dynamics of mooring and marine riser systems, You will also benefit from participating in projects sponsored directly by industry partners whenever they are available. Delivery, Seven taught modules worth 100 credits are delivered through semester one and/or two. A dissertation research project, worth 80 credits, is undertaken across the three semesters.
