Taught programmes – Corrosion Control Engineering
The masters programme 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.
The programme
The complete MSc programme is made up of taught course units and a dissertation project (MSc) or short project (Diploma). The taught component is delivered through a combination of lectures, supported learning, tutorials, case studies and practical laboratory classes. The course units, assessed by a combination of coursework and examination, cover a wide range of industrially-relevant subject areas, including:
- Introduction to Corrosion
- Principles of Corrosion
- Environments, Testing and Localized Corrosion
- Corrosion Control Methods
- Corrosion in Oil and Gas
- Corrosion in Process and Power
Your dissertation is a chance to apply what you have learned to a focused five-month research project. Your choice of topic will be determined in consultation with your supervisor and will be industrially linked – empowering you with skills that can be applied to the real world.
Your options
You can choose to take the programme at Certificate, Diploma or MSc level and in full-time, part-time or online distance-learning format.
