Introduction This course provides an integrated approach to safety and reliability issues across most of the traditional branches of engineering, and allows students to specialise in various aspects of technical safety, including human factors engineering. It provides education and training for graduate engineers in the general area of safety engineering, reliability engineering, and loss prevention. Technical safety is not a subject which is adequately covered in most undergraduate degrees, so this MSc programme comprehends those topics relating to the safety and reliability of engineering products and systems, in a unified approach. The aim is to provide an opportunity for graduate engineers to develop a career in safety and reliability engineering and risk management. There is a continuing high demand for people with specialist knowledge in these areas. This is partly a result of the new legal requirements to assess and control industrial risks to people and the environment, and partly because of the need to create high integrity engineering systems in many industries: for example, in the nuclear, defence, transport, aerospace, manufacturing and process industries. There is also an online deivery of this programme available. Course Modules Semester 1 Compulsory Fundamental Safety Engineering and Risk Management Concepts Statistics and Probability for Safety, Reliability and Quality Fire and Explosion Engineering Subsea Integrity Semester 2 Compulsory Advanced Methods for Risk and Reliability Assessment Applied Risk Analysis and Management Process Design, Layout and Materials Human Factors Engineering Semester 3 Safety Engineering Individual Project Why study at Aberdeen? There is no better place to study Safety and Reliability Engineering as Aberdeen has been learning and implementing continuous improvements in terms of the industry and its learnings since the start of energy growth in the city in the 1970s. The university has amassed a wealth of knowledge in the full energy supply chain from which to draw upon The programme is recognised by the Lloyds Register Foundation Centre for Safety and Reliability Engineering and is also overseen by an Advisory Board from professionals with a range of relevant backgrounds Engineering programmes and energy attract students from around the world and the university is known and respected for its energy programmes in the industry Programme Quick Facts University of Aberdeen 12 Months 24 Months Full Time and Part Time September start Find out about fees on the programme page Find out about scholarships on the programme page Life in Aberdeen Find out more about: Your Accommodation Campus Facilities Aberdeen City Student Support Clubs and Societies /student-life Find out more about entry requirements on programme page View English Language Requirements on the programme page Find out more from the programme page
