The National Decommissioning Centre’s research expertise enables us to deliver a programme of skills and learning in decommissioning for the benefit of industry.

The Centre’s Doctoral Training Programme, which is funded jointly by the Net Zero Technology Centre, the University of Aberdeen and our industry partners, allows PhD students to undertake integrated training across our research priority areas.

The MSc Decommissioning, which can be studied full time or part time online, is the world’s first and only Masters degree in decommissioning oil rigs, platforms and offshore structures and provides training in all of the key aspects associated with decommissioning such as engineering, project management, business, law, health and safety and the environment.

For companies looking to upskill staff in decommissioning we offer an ECITB-approved CPD course in decommissioning.

The NDC’s Skills and Learning programme builds on our research expertise to support all levels of academia and industry, to help create competitive advantage for the oil and gas industry, and for decommissioning challenges in the wider energy sector.
