Oil, Gas and Energy Engineering

The objectives of the programme are to:

• Provide specialized advanced knowledge and tools to our graduates in order to cope successfully in a technologically challenging environment.
• Facilitate learning in areas of oil, gas and energy engineering that are directly linked to industry and current state-of-the-art technology.
• Provide the theoretical and computational skills necessary for the solution of both theoretical and practical engineering problems.
• Provide practical and experimental hands-on experience that allows the students to link directly to fundamental knowledge and theory.
• Prepare graduates to work alone or in groups in order to provide engineering solutions.
• Prepare graduates to design/implement systems and processes towards the solution of engineering problems.
• Promote research, develop research skills and provide fundamental knowledge to support a successful career in research and development.
• Develop the ability of the graduates to write technical reports and scientific papers as well as to present their work before an audience.
• Provide the graduates with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competence in their area and become successful professionals throughout their lifetime.
• Prepare graduates so that they may be admitted to and successfully complete a PhD program in Oil, Gas and Energy engineering or related fields.

This field offers very good career opportunities. Graduates of the Master’s program can be employed in a number of sectors including:

• off-shore exploration
• product refineries
• on-shore liquefying natural gas (LNG) terminal
• chemical manufacturing industries
• research
