Offshore and coastal engineering provides the foundation for global prosperity linked to the Blue Economy, focusing on innovative solutions to engineering challenges in dynamic ocean and coastal environments. Examples include the design of offshore energy infrastructure including marine renewables, vessels, ports and harbours, and diverse coastal infrastructure including coastal protection structures. The Master of Offshore and Coastal Engineering prepares graduates from engineering backgrounds with the knowledge and practical skills required to lead innovation in offshore and coastal engineering. The course integrates disciplinary knowledge across the whole water column, from oceanography, hydrodynamics, structural and geotechnical engineering, and data science, to provide multidisciplinary knowledge and practical skills to analyse and design different ocean engineering solutions. Students develop detailed knowledge of how dynamic ocean processes impact offshore and coastal structures from the seabed to the water surface, and from coastal regions to deep waters.
