Corrosion Control Engineering
Postgraduate qualifications: MSc; Postgraduate Diploma; Postgraduate Certificate
The masters course in Corrosion Control Engineering provides you with a thorough grounding in corrosion and its control. You will explore principles, protection strategies and industrial applications, preparing you for either a career in industry as a corrosion scientist or engineer, or for cutting-edge academic research.
Aims of the programme:
- to produce competent, professionally qualified graduates who are appropriately trained to secure immediate, rewarding and useful employment in the UK, European or overseas industries as corrosion scientists or engineers.
- to provide conversion training, which is academically-based and intellectually challenging, as well as directly relevant to the requirements of the subject, the student, industry and other employers.
- to satisfy the needs of practicing engineers, scientists and technologists wishing to develop professional competence in the areas of corrosion and corrosion control processes.
Study methods
In addition to online distance-learning format, the course is also available in campus-based format.
Taught units
Each individual taught unit of the course can be taken independently and is ideal for topping-up your existing skills or learning new skills:
- Unit 1 - Corrosion and Materials
- Unit 2 - Principles of Corrosion
- Unit 3 - Environments, Testing and Localised Corrosion
- Unit 4 - Corrosion Control
- Unit 5 - Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industries
