Master of Science in Offshore Technology
Study at the University of Stavanger
Our vision is “to challenge established facts, explore the unknown, gain insight and find wisdom, to benefit society at large and our students and staff.”
In order to realise this vision, we need staff, students and people around us who are curious and hungry for knowledge. We are convinced that a collective commitment to this ambitious vision will help us produce wiser individuals who will be better equipped to meet the future and everyday challenges.
UiS, like all Norwegian higher education institutions, has implemented measures dictated by the Quality Reform. The two main reasons for the reform are achieving improved quality in higher education and research and following up the Bologna's process and Norway's obligations in that regard.

| Programme description |
Norway is the third largest oil and gas exporter in the world and the Stavanger-region is the undisputed oil capital of Norway. The two-year Master of Science Programme in Offshore Technology is a programme designed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the offshore industry. The study programme consists of general principles and methods that give students the tools to meet and solve challenges on an advanced engineering level, also outside the area of specialisation. Projects and problems in the programme are often taken from the offshore industry and students can avail themselves of the faculty's close contacts with the industry. The study programme gives the candidates a foundation in mathematical science and basic engineering subjects, which will be applied within one of three different specialisations: The programme prepares students for careers in the international oil and gas industry. |
