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.

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.

### Assessment method

The use of various forms of assessment and learning environments facilitates the development of generic transferable skills enhancing student employability.

Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies they learn on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. The exact mix of these methods differs between subject areas, years of study and individual courses.

Honours projects are typically assessed on the basis of a written dissertation.

## Entry requirements

### Typical qualification requirements

### A level BBB

BBB required in Mathematics, plus at least one from Physics, Design & Technology, or Engineering. GCSE English at C is also required.

Applicants who are predicted to achieve the Standard entry requirements are encouraged to apply and may be made a conditional offer of admission.

### Scottish Higher ABBB

Applicants who achieve ABBB 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. National 5 in English at Grade C or above is also 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.
