@debosky, thanks for your suggestion.well i really have no more choice right now as i tried to transfer to subsea all to no avail, i thought a broad course was for a fresh graduate with no experience and vice versa?,

@Bassmo, he studeied something that has to do with chemical engineering

Hi sagamites.
Ive gone thru most of your ''uni'' posts and they were all helpful.
Im want to do an Msc in Petroleum Eng, and im thinkin bout Heriot-Watt or RGU. Which of the options would you consider as "better" and why?
Employment prospects (in the UK) after the programme? HW/RGU
International recognition as a "red-brick uni (even tho i know they both arent)? HW/RGU
Quality of study (as regards, field trips and group excursions to oil firms during the programme)? HW?RGU.
I know for a fact that Uni of Aberdeen carry out a lot of study trips to TOTAL,SHELL,TEXACO.

Please base your answers on "what you know about the uni's"and ur experience in the UK(pple you must have met that went to these uni's).
Thanx.

sorry for the little digression pple. i'm on the verge of taking a major decision as regards my career. i am a civil engineering graduate and i have a good flair for the oil and gas industry but need your advice in finally choosing a direction to head. though i have some little bias against UK universities, which decision would you consider "well taken" if i study subsea engineering/risk management (offshore technology) in the following universities

1. University of Stavanger (Norway)
2. Delft University of technology (Holland)
3. Cranfield University
4. University of Aberdeen
5. University of Newcastle.

cost, exposure, facilities, quality of teaching and prospect of employment all considered. thanks pple.

Hi,

I am just seeing this, sorry.

In regards to your chosen course, RGU has a better rep and Oil & Gas is their signature field. In regards to general uni calibre, HW is way better, it is the more red-brickish. RGU is not red-brickish at all.

In regards to quality of study, I will not have a clue as I am not in that field. I will leave that to the likes of debosky and Sauron if they know as that is their industry.

HW is 100 times better than RGU. it's harder to get into HW compared to RGU that takes in every dick and harry that can afford to pay the fees.
Have you tried imperial college?

cranfield's subsea engineering is very good. I actually got a scholarship to study the same course back in the days but decided against it as my career took a different turn at the time.
It's modern and i believe it has great links to the industry.

hELLO jAYBEE,
wHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT Drilling n Well Engineering at the RGU . Is it a worthwhile course. i got a scholarship to study that.
Thank you

hey showstopa,
dats def a good course. what's your first degree in?

I am a bit confused now,
Are you perchance talking to me Jaybee. If so, my first degree is in Mechanical Engr and i have 2 years oil n gas working experience.
Thanks

Yeah bruv, the sky is your limit with that combo.
Good luck

Oh thanks, I have been having som epeople against and some for resigning and going for that Masters cos i got a scholarship.
I appreciate.
By the way I am a Sis.

hahahahah my ignorant self assumed 'em kinda engineering field are reserved for men hence ma cock-up. no vex oh.

u planning to go back afterwards or stay behind and work?

depends on how things look up.
I am not really a jand person. But since i am single I dont have any problems.

Flexibility rules. Dats certainly one of the key employable factors here especially when you is a woman in a male dominated field.

Hey Jay,
You wanna expantiate on that,. Flexibility in what sense .

OK lemme break it down
As an employer, part of my recruitment process is to determine how flexible my potential recruits are in relation to job location and extra hours cover.
If you are married then it'd be a monumental task to get you 2 leave the comfort of your family and travel to a remote site for work purposes if the need arise.
Married women usually have the occasional time offs for maternity care, children care et al 

Basically the less ties you have the better for multinational companies especially in the oil and gas industry

Ya i can imagine. While i worked in the oilfield.Being single was a lot to my advantage.
So if you are an employer in the UK, i can just as well start applying now before i come over.
WADDAYA FINK?

Oh well, i am far away from my engineering background dis dayz except you wanna venture into programming.
I now work as an Analyst Programmer

Trust me, i am not such a wonderful cook , but in this economic hullabaloo, i could apply for that post.
Just kidding.
Thank you for ur advice. Would wanna hit up on you when i have further issues if you dont mind. Can i always find you on this Page? lol

And i see you love Man U too, great guy(hope u is a guy)
I'll check you up tomoro.

Nah, not hostile at all, just a bit ghettorish in some parts with drunkards.

Scottish people are generally great with blacks, I don't think you have to worry too much at all.

You only have to worry if you are English (as in, white from England that speaks with Queen's accent).

Ouch Sagamite,
i thot u were posh.my bad.
Are u in scotland?

No, I am not in Scotland but when you are there, I will be.

Chei sagamite, c as u take style take over. lol
