The Engineering (Mechanical with Oil and Gas Studies), BEng at the University of Aberdeen is designed for ambitious students eager to contribute to a field that underpins modern industry and energy production. You will explore the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering, with a specialised focus on the unique demands and innovations within the oil and gas sector. This programme is ideal if you possess a strong aptitude for problem-solving and a keen interest in how mechanical systems operate and are optimised, particularly in demanding environments. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of core engineering concepts and their practical application.
This full-time, on-campus BEng degree is studied over four years, providing a progressive learning journey from foundational mathematics and engineering mechanics in Year 1, through to advanced topics like fluid dynamics, petroleum production engineering, and drilling technology in your final year. You will engage with practical elements including CAD, design, and computing, culminating in a significant individual or group design project, potentially abroad or in industry. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for a variety of roles within the mechanical engineering and energy sectors, equipped with specialised knowledge and practical skills.
