Study Details: 1-2 Years
Graduates from a range of technical, non-technical and commercial backgrounds are eligible to apply. The 60-credit dissertation module allows you to conduct a supervised research project developing original knowledge in a specific area of oil and gas management.Teesside is a major European centre for the chemical and petroleum processing sector, making it an ideal location to study this field. The oil and gas industry is well represented with a range of internationally recognised companies operating in the region. There are three routes you can select from to gain a postgraduate Master’s award:MSc Oil and Gas Management – one year full time MSc Oil and Gas Management – two years part timeMSc Oil and Gas Management (with Advanced Practice) – two years full time
The one-year programme is a great option if you want to gain a traditional MSc qualification. The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances your qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme. A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We will, however, provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position should you prefer this type of internship.
Applicants are normally expected to have at least a lower second class (2.2) UK honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in a subject related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, business, management, computing and IT.Students with a degree awarded outside the UK must also meet the University's minimum English language requirements.International applicants who need a student visa to study in the UK should check our web pages on UKVI-compliant English language requirements. The University also provides pre-sessional English language courses if you do not meet the minimum English language requirement.
