Course Details

Want to face new challenges every day? Petroleum engineering is one of the highest paid engineering fields internationally, with exciting opportunities for qualified graduates. Petroleum engineers help sustain societys way of life by ensuring we can meet our energy demands. They provide oil and gas in efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible ways. This degree allows students to undertake a major as part of their study in a five-year program.

Qualification: Bachelor Degree (Honours)

Course structure: The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) with Major builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles. Over the course of the program, the subjects studied change from more general engineering topics to very specific petroleum and the relevant major topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. This integrated structure makes the petroleum and relevant engineering major teaching curriculum unique. In the fifth year, students expand their technical petroleum engineering knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management, and undertake a final year petroleum engineering project. This degree allows students to undertake a major as part of their study in a five-year program. A major is a great way to specialise and pursue topics of interest without narrowing future career options. All graduates of this degree irrespective of their major qualify as petroleum engineers, and can pursue a career in any specialist field within the profession. Majors are available in Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, and Mining Engineering. Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.
