Overview

The Master of Petroleum Engineering Science is designed for graduates with a Bachelor Honours degree in petroleum engineering or a Bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. The program is suited to students who wish to obtain knowledge, understanding and strong analytical skills in petroleum engineering at an advanced level.

It is also aimed at petro-technical professionals already working in the upstream petroleum industry (with a Bachelor/Honours degree in petroleum engineering) who wish to advance their technical careers in petroleum engineering. Individuals who have significant upstream petroleum industry experience may also be eligible for, and benefit from, this program.

The Master of Petroleum Engineering Science is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 1 year (extension program) for those who enter into the program with a Bachelor Honours degree in petroleum engineering.

The Master of Petroleum Engineering Science is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 1.5-2 years (extension program) for those who enter into the program with a Bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. Depending on students’ background knowledge and work experiences, the full time duration can vary from 1.5-2 years.

The Master of Petroleum Engineering Science is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years (conversion program) for those who enter into the program with a Bachelor Honours degree in an engineering discipline other than petroleum engineering.

Conditions

Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Faculty before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
