Oilfield Corrosion Engineering

Overview

Corrosion in the oil and gas sector is one of the major flow assurance issues. From an economic point of view the efficient management of corrosion ensures that oil and gas can be recovered from wells for longer. Corrosion is also a major cause of hydrocarbon leaks and so safety drives the technological advances in corrosion control.

This course will provide you with skills in corrosion measurement, asset integrity assessment, corrosion prediction and corrosion management to enable you to practice in the dynamic oil and gas sector.

Entry Requirements

A degree equivalent to a UK upper second class (2.1) honours degree or higher in engineering, a physical science or mathematics.

A pass at GCSE level in English Language (grade C or above). International students must have an English language qualification at a suitable level, for example IELTS 6.0 or equivalent.

Career Options

With this qualification, excellent career options are open to you to practice as a professional corrosion engineer and play a major role in ensuring the safe and efficient recovery of natural resources.
