Presentation Stavanger Offshore Technical College

Stavanger Offshore Technical College is a public college located in Stavanger, Norway. The college has 150 years of tradition as a maritime institution. As the maritime industry in Norway declined in the 1970s the oil and gas industry arrived, placing a new area of focus at the college. Today, Petroleum Technology has a dominant position at the college, making SOTS one of the most interesting institutions of its kind.

Main Areas SOTS currently has about 600 students at the level of Vocational School and Technical College. Oil and gas Electronics / Automation Engineering Nautical / Maritime Building and Construction

Why have we succeeded as public college in oil and gas? • Education and training institution is a part of the Norwegian oil and gas cluster. • Integrated oil and gas training and education into the official educational system • Norwegian education model • Cooperation with industry • Partnership agreements • Internships • Commercial activities
