Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology
Course Overview
The Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology is a uk level 7 postgraduate qualification, typically 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time delivered across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. It focuses on senior engineering and technology practice for offshore hydrocarbon assets, from fixed platforms through subsea tie-backs to floating production systems, taught in step with UK professional-body competencies used across Aberdeen and the North Sea upstream cluster, the UK Continental Shelf operator community, and international deepwater basins accessed through London.
By graduation, you will be leading offshore engineering studies, coordinating field development options and delivering a research-informed dissertation on offshore engineering and technology. Weekly seminars, applied case work and a closing project ensure you finish with evidence that matches the expectations of UK operators, service firms and regulators working in oil, gas and energy.
Assessment is continuous. Every module of the Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology includes a scored applied task, brought into a written portfolio that admissions, external verifiers and prospective employers can review. The closing capstone or dissertation sits alongside this portfolio as evidence of independent capability in offshore engineering and technology.
Key Features
- UK Level 7 postgraduate credential mapped to SPE, Energy Institute and IMCA competency areas
- SUT references for subsea technology
- Applied modules on floating production and subsea systems
- Research methods stream culminating in a substantial dissertation
- Named programme-tutor support across on-campus, online and distance cohorts
- Dissertation or sponsor project on a real offshore engineering scenario
Every intake of the Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology shares live seminar teaching, tutor-set reading and a structured assessment calendar. Online and distance cohorts join the same seminars as the London on-campus cohort, then extend the material through set applied work between sessions. Programme content is reviewed each intake against the UK oil, gas and energy employer community that recruits Master finishers.
What You Will Learn
- Lead offshore engineering studies for platforms, subsea and floating systems
- Coordinate field development options between subsea and platform
- Model flow assurance in subsea flowlines
- Apply IMCA guidelines to offshore vessel operations
- Interpret ROV, AUV and diving operational envelopes
- Coordinate offshore integrity and inspection strategies
- Apply research methods to an offshore engineering question
- Communicate senior findings in UK operator and regulator forums
Applied learning is at the centre of the Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology. Each module combines a taught foundation with a small applied task, then a scored assignment set against offshore engineering and technology scenarios drawn from UK operator, service company and regulator practice. Feedback is written, structured and tied to programme-tutor sign-off.
Who This Course Is For
- Senior offshore engineers targeting technology-led roles
- Subsea specialists moving into engineering leadership
- International applicants seeking a UK offshore engineering Master
- Career changers with senior technical background moving into offshore
- Working professionals studying part-time around campaign schedules
The Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology brings together learners from field, plant, office and campus backgrounds. That mix is deliberate, applied learning in offshore engineering and technology benefits from cohort discussion between career changers, working professionals and international applicants. Tutor-visible seminars keep every voice in the room.

Why Study at LSOGM
The London School of Oil and Gas Management is a specialist division of Harold International College of London teaching in small, tutor-visible cohorts. LSOGM sits within reach of Aberdeen and the North Sea upstream cluster, the UK Continental Shelf operator community, and international deepwater basins accessed through London, giving students of the Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology programme direct exposure to the professional bodies, standards organisations and employer networks that recruit into offshore engineering and technology.
Every intake, on-campus, online or by distance learning, joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support. Three parallel study modes make the Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology accessible around work, family and shift patterns, curricula are reviewed annually against live employer demand, and faculty are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists.
LSOGM cohorts are deliberately kept small so that programme tutors can see, name and support every student. The Master of Offshore Engineering and Technology brings that visibility to a UK Master credential taught in the same city and against the same standards as the UK offshore engineering and technology employer base. Timetable, deadlines and assessment weightings are shared in writing on day one, and every student receives an individual careers-service touchpoint before graduation.
