This degree offers students the chance to specialise in the Subsea Industry and develop skills specific to this area, whilst still following the hugely popular Mechanical Engineering degree. This accredited Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Mechanical Engineering degree.
The major difference is the compulsory courses in year 5, which include, Pipelines and Soil Mechanics, Subsea Production Systems, Risers Systems and Hydrodynamics.

This degree offers students the chance to specialise in the Subsea Industry and develop skills specific to this area, whilst still following the hugely popular Mechanical Engineering degree. This accredited Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight MEng Mechanical Engineering degree.<br/><br/>The major difference is the compulsory courses in year 5, which include, Pipelines and Soil Mechanics, Subsea Production Systems, Risers Systems and Hydrodynamics.<br/><br/>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.

Points of Entry
Year 1
A,A,B,B
Applicants who achieve AABB or better 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.
34
34 Points including Mathematics and Physics at HL (6 or above) and English at Standard Level.
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.
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.
A,B,B
AB required in Mathematics and Physics or a B in Design and Technology or a B in Engineering. If applicant presents with B in Physics, Design and Technology or Engineering, Mathematics must be A grade. GCSE English at C.
