The programme in Petroleum Engineering covers a range of disciplines that are required for the safe, environmentally acceptable and profitable production of oil and natural gas.
You will learn the skills needed to lead the development and implementation of new technology for efficient and sustainable oil and natural gas production. The programme covers: the petrophysical, geochemical and mechanical properties of reservoir rocks, the properties of oil as a complex chemical mixture in reservoir and process conditions, multi-phase flow in porous media, reservoir simulation and technology for enhanced oil recovery.
The programme has two branches, one which focuses on the geological aspect of production and one which focuses on the chemical or process-orientated aspect of production.
You can specialize in one of two branches:
- Reservoir geology, where you will be taught geology, geophysics and rock mechanics.
- Reservoir engineering, where you will learn about reservoir engineering and process technology.
Teaching varies between laboratory work, lectures, classroom instruction with discussions and student presentations, as well as project work in groups. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

If you choose to complete the master degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science (MSc) in Petroleum Engineering .
