1 Offshore Technology - Marine- and subsea technology - Master's Degree Programme Vekting: 120 studiepoeng Studienivå: Mastergrad iht 3, 2 år Tilbys av: Det teknisk-naturvitenskapelige fakultet, Institutt for konstruksjonsteknikk og materialteknologi Fører til grad: Master i teknologi / sivilingeniør Heltid/deltid: Heltid Varighet: 4 semestre Undervisningsspråk: Norsk, Engelsk Introduksjon Introduction Graduated students will have competence on master degree level in technology. They will have a basic background in mathematical science and basic engineering subjects and be able to apply this knowledge within an area of specialisation. As the study program consists of and rests on general principles and methods, they will also be able to meet and solve challenges on an advanced engineering level outside the area of specialisation and in close cooperation with experts from other fields. In particular, the candidates will be qualified to participate and manage developing and implementing new technology, methods and principles for the offshore petroleum industry above seabed. PROGRAM CONTENT, STRUCTURE AND PROGRESSION Consisting of a total of 120 ECTS, the master program is made up of 20 ECTS basic methods courses (G) which consolidate and continue the mathematical and scientific foundation from the bachelor program. 30 ECTS are common (core) subjects (F) which give the students a broad and common platform in offshore technology and they complement and expand subjects from the bachelor program as well. The remaining 70 ECTS consist of 30 ECTS of compulsory basic (core) courses (K), 10 ECTS of elective concentration courses (S) and a final master thesis of 30 ECTS (M). The electives must be approved by the department, but the students will have considerable freedom in choosing their own combinations depending on interest and level of knowledge. The master thesis may be taken either at the faculty or in cooperation with industry. The department has good contacts with offshore companies in the region. In order to be assigned a topic for a master paper, satisfactory progression must be demonstrated as cited in Regulations for Master's thesis. The program provides specialization within MARINE-AND SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY which is devoted to systems and operations in subsea field developments. The program combines basic mechanical engineering subjects with marine technology and knowledge of systems and side 1

Design of Subsea Poduction Systems, Modern Well Design are examples of central electives. UiS wishes to offer all its programs as planned, but courses still have to be subject to availability of resources and a minimum student enrollment. Also the content and scope of the courses will necessarily have to change over time because of professional development, use of new technology and general social change. The course work consists of lectures, project assignments, obligatory and voluntary exercises and laboratory work. The course descriptions provide further information on: Class work and instruction Set texts Evaluation Exams Læringsutbytte A candidate, who has completed a 2-year master degree in Offshore Technology, specialization Marine and Subsea Technology, shall have the following learning outcome defined as knowledge, skills and general competence: Knowledge The candidate has advanced knowledge within systems and operations related to marine and subsea technology.

The Faculty has set a minimum grade limit at 3.0 (A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1) for admittance. For international students, normally, the level of grades of those that are shortlisted is equivalent to a Second Class Upper Division or better. Applicants with a grade level equivalent to Second Class Lower Division, or lower, will not be considered for admission. Proficiency in English is required. Contact information: Questions about the programme: tanja.bergby@uis.no Questions about admission: post-tn@uis.no Opptaksinformasjon If there are fewer applicants than can be accommodated, those applicants that do not fulfill the requirements for admission can be given conditional admission when they lack up to 10 ECTS. Missing ECTS must be taken within one year of the beginning of the program. After admission to the program, the students may apply to the faculty for permission to take it as a part-time study. Application must be sent to the UiS on a local application form. If a student wants to be admitted on a basis of individual competence, she/he must contact the admission office.

7 Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and University of Stavanger (UiS) have associated their experience in Research and Teaching to establish a Double Master's degree program in Offshore Technology. The program aims to provide the student knowledge and expertise in offshore oil and gas technology especially within the Northern areas. There is a growing industry demand for specialized labor related to this field. The study program draws on experienced education professionals whose expertise encompasses not only cutting edge theoretical concepts, but also extensive industry experience. Learning outcome: This Double Degree program has the same learning outcome as Master Program in Offshore Technology, specialization Marine and Subsea Technology. In addition, the candidates will get knowledge about requirements for Artic Field Development through attending a course at The University Center in Svalbard. Candidates will also be able to develop relationships that can contribute to lasting cooperation between Norwegian and Russian oil and gas industry. Practice period: There is an Internship period of 6 weeks during the summer. This is a mandatory requirement from the Russian part, that students must have an internship during their studies. This internship is not credited with ECTS. Application: There are established separate procedures for admission for this program. After the students has been admitted to Master program in Marine and Subsea Technology, they can apply for further admission to this Double Degree program in Offshore Field Development Technology in co-operation with Gubkin Russian State University. The limit is 5 students each year. First semester follow the same study plan as Marin and Subsea Technology. The students must have obtained the degree in Bachelor of Science to get admitted. Those students who are admitted to our 5 year master program can then only get a Bachelor Diploma and Master Diploma separately instead of a full 5 year Master Diploma. All candidates will be called in for an interview before final admission. The necessary skills in English must be document from High School with minimum the grade of 4. I addition the students must apply to get Visa from Russia, and they require health certificate and medical insurance. UiS can not guarantee that Visa is granted. Diploma The program will provide the students with 2 diplomas one from each University. The double Degree diploma will make the students very competitive and attractive in the employment Market in both Russian and Norwegian sector, especially in developing the Artic side 7
