Marine and Offshore Technology - Master of Science Degree Programme

Oceans cover more than 70 % of the earth’s surface. However, those are still much unexplored. About 97 % of the earth’s water is contained in oceans and seas all connected forming an enormous mass of water. Complex marine engineering becomes crucial when obtaining and discovering all the resources that the oceans can bring as for solving the different issues that can occur during this process.

The University of Stavanger has extensive and solid competence within marine and offshore technologies. Students will gain detailed knowledge in designing, constructing, maintaining and removing of marine and offshore structures. Further, they will look into systems and operations related to installation by combining basic mechanical engineering subjects with marine technology.

Our graduates have specialised knowledge in marine and offshore technology systems, subsea production, offshore aquaculture, offshore renewable energy and fjord crossings. Our graduates are well-equipped to participate in the development of new technology, methods and best practices for the marine, offshore and subsea industries. They will also be in demand for many attractive job opportunities in other high technology industries.
