M.Sc Petroleum Engineering
The MSc in Petroleum Engineering programme aims at broadening, strengthening and integrating knowledge and understanding of the oil and gas industry processes. You'll learn the mathematics, science, computer-based methods, design and engineering practice to solve petroleum engineering problems of varying complexity, taking in consideration the economic, social and environmental context.
At the end of the programme you should have obtained a deep and broad knowledge of the integrated model of the oil reservoir in order to predict, improve, maintain and to innovate the processes of oil and gas production.

Job Opportunity Potential
Employability
The complexity of the oil and gas industry offers a wide variety of opportunities for career development to petroleum engineers.
In most oil companies worldwide the petroleum engineering team consists of a geologist, a reservoir engineer, a petro-physicist, a drilling engineer and a production engineer. With this Master’s qualification you'll be qualified to apply for positions in all of these fields. Each member of the teaching team will be concentrating on their own aspect of the larger task in hand, which is to maximise cost-effective production from the field.
As a graduate of the MSc in Petroleum Engineering your profile will match the needs in different areas of oil and gas production, and reservoir engineering in large companies, which offer attractive graduate programmes, and in medium and small operating and consulting companies.
Our vocational approach will make you an attractive prospect to employers – you’ll understand the theory, but also be able to apply your learning and skills to the workplace with confidence.
