The University o Stavanger has established a research and educational basis in oil and gas technologythat has attracted students not only rom Norway, but rom many parts o the world.

The M.Sc. degree in Oshore Technology incorporates three streams o specialisation - IndustrialAsset Management, Marine and Subsea Technology and Risk Management

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion o the programme, graduates will have a basic background in mathematical science and

basic engineering subjects and be able to apply this knowledge within an area o specialisation. As thestudy program consists o and rests on general principles and methods, they will also be able to meetand solve challenges on an advanced engineering level outside the area o specialisation and in closecooperation with experts rom other elds. In particular, the candidates will be qualied to participateand manage developing and implementing new technology, methods and principles or the oshorepetroleum industry above seabed.

Learning Outcomes - Industrial Asset Management

Graduates will have gained knowledge o engineering and management o advanced, complex andintegrated industrial assets and production acilities/systems. The candidates will be qualied toparticipate in technology development and management o oshore production acilities in all lie cyclephases, (i.e. design, construction, installation, operation, maintenance, modication and removal).

Learning Outcomes - Marine and Subsea TechnologyGraduates will have knowledge o systems and operations related to subsea petroleum production andor oshore windpower. The students will also acquire thorough knowledge o systems and operationsrelated to installation by combining basic mechanical engineering subjects with marine technology.

Learning Outcomes - Risk ManagementGraduates will have knowledge o the analysis o reliability and risk, quantication o reliability,decision-making approaches and precautionary principles.


Graduates with a master degree in Oshore Technology will be qualied to participate in developingand implementing new technology, methods and principles or the oshore oil and gas industry and oroshore wind power. The candidates will also be qualied or many attractive positions in traditionalindustries. This master degree may qualiy or admission to the PhD programme in Oshore Technology

oered at the University in Stavanger.
