MASTER OF SCIENCE (OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY)

Introduction

The Master of Science (Offshore Technology), or M.Sc.(Offshore Technology), is jointly hosted by the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and theDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, and is administered by the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. It offers a comprehensive coverage of topicsin Offshore Technology and Subsea Engineering that are of great relevance to the offshore oil and gas industry which span the design of facilities in shallowwaters to challenges that are faced by engineers in developments in deep waters and in arctic conditions.

A student may choose to graduate with the following degrees:

M.Sc. (Offshore Technology)M.Sc. (Offshore Technology) with Specialization in Subsea Engineering (offered in Semester 1 AY 2012/2013 onwards)

Programme Structure

To qualify for the degree of M.Sc. (Offshore Technology), a full-time or part-time candidate must successfully complete a programme of study consisting of atleast 40 MCs, which consists of the following:

a. At least 28 MCs from the list of modules in Offshore Technology below.b. The remaining MCs may come from the list of Elective Modules. Up to two (2) modules may be selected from outside the list of Elective Modules with

prior approval to be sought from the Programme Management Committee.

In addition, a student must obtain a minimum CAP of 3.0 (B-) for the best modules equivalent to 40 MCs, inclusive of at least 28 MCs of modules in OffshoreTechnology.

To be eligible for the M.Sc. (Offshore Technology) with Specialization in Subsea Engineering, students must successfully complete a programme of studyconsisting of at least 40 MCs (with a minimum CAP of 3.0) which are made up of at least 28 MCs from the list of Modules in Offshore Technology. Of the 28MCs, at least 20 MCs must be from the following specific modules identified from the list of Modules in Offshore Technology:
