Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) with majors in Civil, Chemical, Mechanical or Mining engineering (BE(Hons)(Petrol))

This program integrates core petroleum engineering with geosciences and management and 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-related topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines and majors. Students can choose the following majors, Chemical engineering, Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering and Mining engineering.  In the first year, students study a range of engineering and mathematics courses that are common to many branches of engineering. Students are also introduced to the petroleum industry and to the key geological, physical and chemical principles that govern recovery from petroleum reservoirs. In the second and third year areas of study are developed with a broader range of petroleum engineering and geosciences topics. In final two years, students expand their technical knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management as well as undertake a final year project.
 
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
