COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Offshore and Coastal Engineering (MOCE) prepares graduates from engineering backgrounds with the knowledge and practical skills to lead innovation in offshore and coastal engineering. The MOCE program is unique in its content and is designed to prepare graduates for a wide range of ocean-related career pathways.
Offshore and coastal engineering provides the foundation for global prosperity linked to the Blue Economy. This course integrates disciplinary knowledge across the whole water column, from oceanography, hydrodynamics, structural and geotechnical engineering, and data science, to provide students with the multidisciplinary knowledge and practical skills required to analyse and design different ocean engineering solutions.
Course structure
Postgraduate coursework degrees and combined (coursework and research) degrees comprise a number of units.
You’ll learn to
Apply technical and scientific understanding of the principles governing offshore and coastal engineering from the ocean surface to the seabed.
Discuss ocean processes that affect ocean operations, safety and engineering design.
Recommend the research and technology pathways for current and future offshore and coastal engineering.
Solve offshore and coastal engineering problems with creativity and initiative.
Why study this course?
UWA is the preeminent Australian University in developing ocean engineering research solutions within offshore and coastal environments, with the course delivered by leading experts in the field.
The course will equip graduates to take on leadership positions in offshore and coastal engineering, offering an outstanding student experience, drawing on UWA’s research expertise, global networks, industry connectivity and breadth of oceans teaching.
Graduates will develop advanced knowledge and practical skills that are in high demand by employers in a wide range of ocean industries.
