Teaching Rationale And Relationship

Formal lectures are designed to deliver the theories and their relation to the current practice in the marine and offshore industries and to explain the use of major techniques. (IKO1-IKO6).
In the revision and tutorial sessions the students are provided with the opportunity to gain oral feedback from the lecturing staff.
The independent study gives time for the students to read the classic and leading edge papers on those topics in their own time and at their own space (ISO1-ISO3).

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
