Course Summary

Overview

Brunel University London provides this world-leading MSc degree with scholarships for the next generation of oil and gas engineers.

This unique, industry-focused MSc in Oil and Gas Engineering is delivered at the National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC), a state-of-the-art postgraduate engineering facility based at Granta Park, near Cambridge.

The aim of this postgraduate engineering degree is to develop you into a highly sought after oil and gas engineering specialist with the skills to rapidly design and commission oilfield installations to meet energy demands.

Our Oil and Gas Engineering MSc focuses on the design of oil and gas structures. You will gain a sound understanding and in-depth knowledge of oilfield structural design, fabrication and installation.

NSIRC is a unique academia-industry collaboration located within the headquarters of TWI. Here you'll find dedicated teaching and research laboratories including 15 million pounds worth of state-of-the-art equipment. You will benefit from access to a range of leading and industry-relevant software packages, as well as an on-site high-performance computing facility to run high-fidelity and complex numerical simulation to support your experimental work. As a Cambridge-based student, you’ll also have access to all the course-related facilities at Brunel and will enjoy regular organised visits to the Brunel University London campus.

Based within an industrial environment, there are excellent opportunities for networking, together with undertaking applied research on real engineering projects. Combined with the benefits of living in the Cambridge area, which includes historical, cultural and social attractions, NSIRC attracts international students and practising engineers, thus greatly enhancing your learning experience.

Careers and your future

There is a global shortage of qualified specialists in the oil and gas sector, and skilled professionals are enjoying rising salaries.

Our graduates find employment in oilfield services companies, engineering consulting or with upstream oil and gas producers and downstream refineries.

We actively encourage graduates from this MSc degree to continue their studies through a PhD. A number of projects are available through the NSIRC route.

Modules

This module aims at the development of knowledge, understanding and skills for the prediction and analysis of the dynamic response of onshore and offshore structures under external dynamic loading conditions such as wave and wind forces. The module aims to enhance the student?s perception on the dynamic behaviour of deformable bodies and introduce the concepts of vibration theory and wave motion, and to introduce students to the principles of the dynamic response of offshore and onshore structures under the influence of dynamic excitation such as wave, wind and earthquake loading.
