Hva kan du bli?

A master's degree in offshore technology gives you competence in high demand in a variety of activities related to the offshore industry. Offshore structural engineering is central in connection with the upgrading of existing offshore structures and the design and building of new smaller or larger structures. Marine and subsea technology are growth industries today. In Norway half of the petroleum produced comes from subsea installations and Norwegian companies are key players in all international markets for subsea and deep water technologies. The offshore activity off the Norwegian coast and in the arctic regions is expected to grow in the years to come.

A completed master's degree with a minimum average grade B may qualify for admission to the PhD program in Offshore Technology at the University of Stavanger.
