The master programme provides expertise and advanced knowledge, skills and general competence in Mechanical and Structural Engineering and Material Technology. Graduated students will have a background in engineering science and basic engineering subjects. The students will be able to apply this knowledge within their area of specialisations. The students will be qualified to participate and manage the development and implementation of new technology, methods and principles. Candidates with a master’s degree in Structural and Mechanical Engineering will be qualified for many attractive jobs in civil engineering structures, production and manufacturing industries, mechanical systems, renewable energy projects and offshore industries.
This degree is well suited to those who have an interest in structural engineering (both civil and offshore), mechanical engineering and renewable energy industries. The master’s programme currently has two specialisations:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Structural Engineering
The specialisation in Mechanical Engineering is well suited to those who have an interest in design and manufacturing of machinery equipment, industrial and subsea systems, clean energy production. Analysis, design and manufacturing of pumps, valves, compressor, power transmission systems and gear boxes, mechanisms, 3D printing products along the material characterization is included in the learning outcomes of the specialisation.
The specialisation in Structural Engineering is well suited to those who have an interest in analysis, design, construction and maintenance of civil and offshore structures. The learning outcomes of the degree programme provide core competences and skills to work with engineering aspects of building, bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, towers, retaining structure etc.
Career prospects
The programme qualifies the graduates for a broad range of positions in private industry and public organisations. Since the core of the master programme consists of commonly usable principles and methods, graduate students can qualify for many attractive job positions in the area of mechanical and structural engineering and materials technology in offshore and civil engineering industries, renewable energy projects, production and manufacturing industries and a diverse range of mechanical operations.
There will always be a need of buildings, roads, bridges, materials, machinery, production and manufacturing processes wind/wave and solar energy systems. Graduates will therefore be attractive in the industry and in the international job market.
Many will also have interesting job opportunities within research, education, or in public sector devoted to control, regulation and law enforcement of industrial sectors.
A completed master's degree with a minimum average grade B for courses and grade A or B for the Master thesis, may qualify for admission to the PhD programme in Offshore Technology at the University of Stavanger. Graduates are eligible to apply for relevant PhD programmes in other universities.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get about this study programme.
Is it possible to complete the study part-time, or remote?
The program is set up as a full-time program, and there are many compulsory group-based assignments in almost all subjects. We therefore do not recommend to study remotely. As the study is a full-time study, it is not possible to get a part-time admission, but a student with admission to a 2-year master's degree has study rights for 3 years. You can find more information here.
I have previously passed courses at another educational institution. Can I get any of these subjects approved to a new degree?
Yes, it is possible to apply for approval of previously passed courses that are not part of the admission basis to a new degree. You can find more information here.
Is it possible to apply for leave from studies?
Yes. You can find more information here.
Do I have the opportunity to go on an exchange during my studies?
Yes! Students can study abroad during the 3rd semester of the master's programme in Structural and Mechanical Engineering.
