Overview

The Master of Petroleum Engineering is designed for graduates of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or equivalent in a discipline other than petroleum engineering (e.g. chemical, civil, mechanical). The program is suited to students who wish to gain a petroleum engineering qualification and enter the exploration and production (upstream) part of the petroleum industry. It is also aimed at petro-technical professionals already working in the upstream petroleum industry who wish to advance their technical careers in petroleum engineering. Individuals who have a relevant degree with a strong mathematics component (such as geophysics, physics, applied mathematics), or who have significant upstream petroleum industry experience may also be eligible for, and benefit from, this program. Applicants with adequate upstream oil and gas experience may be considered for mid-year entry.
The Master of Petroleum Engineering is an AQF Level 9 Masters Extension qualification with a standard full-time duration of 1.5 years.
