Master of Offshore Platform Engineering Management
Course Overview
The Master of Offshore Platform Engineering Management is a UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification, typically 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time. Delivered on-campus in central London, live online and by distance learning, the programme concentrates on engineering and managing offshore production platforms across their life cycle, and it is written in step with UK employer expectations across oil, gas and energy.
By graduation, you will be equipped to lead engineering delivery for fixed and floating offshore platforms from concept to decommissioning. The programme is taught by practising engineers, HSE specialists, energy economists and industry leaders, with material drawn from live UK and international operator scenarios so the skills you build translate directly to a workplace context.
The Master of Offshore Platform Engineering Management closes with a substantial dissertation or sponsor consulting project, typically set against a live North Sea, Middle East, West African or global energy scenario, giving you evidenced capability to take into a UK operator, service firm or consultancy setting.
