How to apply

The Western Australian offshore oil and gas industry is moving to deeper water.
The recent introduction of Floating LNG facilities (FLNG) offshore WA and the
potential for future deep water, remote oil and gas production requires the
development of new deep water technologies to bring these hydrocarbon reserves
to shore.
This course has been designed to meet the need for engineers who possess the
high level skill-sets that the subsea industry requires.
It is tailored to support the needs of the existing workforce through a series of
advanced units in offshore processing, geomechanics and hydrodynamics.
