This Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Civil Engineering degree.

The major difference is the wider range of course options in the 5th year of study, aimed specifically at enhancing skills and knowledge for the global subsea industry. Such choices include; Remediation Technology, Numerical Simulation of Waves, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Engineering Risk and Reliability Analysis. Aberdeen is a global hub for subsea development, technology and testing and the industry in Scotland exports innovative solutions and talented workforces to all corners of the globe. Subsea technologies will continue to develop in order to meet the changing needs of the industry and this will continue to open up career opportunities for talented individuals.

The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.

It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.
