This degree gives students the opportunity to specialise their Civil Engineering degree and develop key skills specifically for global Subsea Technology.<br/>The Subsea Industry is an industry that has strong roots here in Aberdeen, a city recognised globally as a centre of subsea excellence, testing and performance. <br/><br/>**Ranked 12th UK, 1st in Scotland for General Engineering (Complete University Guide 2024)**<br/><br/>This Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Civil Engineering degree.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>**Ranked 12th UK, 1st in Scotland for General Engineering (Complete University Guide 2022)<br/>Ranked 12th UK, 2nd in Scotland for General Engineering (Guardian 2022)**

Points of Entry
Year 1
Scottish HigherA,A,B,B Applicants who achieve AABB or better (to include Mathematics and Physics or Engineering Science) over S4 and S5 are likely to be made an offer of admission. This may be unconditional or conditional, depending upon academic profile. Good performance in additional Highers / Advanced Highers may be required. Note: we do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B at Adv Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme34 34 Points including Mathematics and Physics at HL (6 or above) and English at Standard Level. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)DDD DDD with Mathematics and Physics required. GCSE at C or above in English or English Language, Mathematics and in either Chemistry or Physics or Dual Award Science. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering programmes. Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017)H2,H2,H2,H2,H3 5 subjects at Higher, with 4 at H2 and 1 at H3 H2 or above in mathematics and H3 or above in Physics required.
