Master of Petroleum Engineering
M.Pet Eng
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 1 year
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Masters by Coursework |
A “conversion” degree aimed at individuals having a non-Petroleum (e.g. Chemical or Mechanical engineering) Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), or equivalent, who wish to gain a Petroleum Engineering qualification to enhance their ability to gain entry to 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 science degree (such as Geology, Geophysics, Geosciences, Physics) and who have more than 1 year upstream petroleum industry experience may also be eligible for, and benefit from, this program.
While the petroleum industry is much focused on practical learning and multidisciplinary teamwork, many technical professionals do not have a chance to receive more formal training in these areas. Engineers are, therefore, not often exposed to alternative methods in a more integrated learning environment, and involving comprehensive case histories. This program is designed to fill the above gaps by providing an integrated and focused learning environment for technical professionals so that they can obtain required foundation with the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively in the exploration and production sector meeting required industry standards.
To qualify for the Master of Petroleum Engineering, students must satisfactorily complete 24 units of which a minimum of 16 units must be taken from the list of core courses. The remaining 8 units may be either core courses or electives. The specific list of courses to be undertaken by any student must be agreed by the Program Coordinator at the time of enrolment and will depend on the student’s prior experience and learning goals.
Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check whether particular courses or projects will be available.
