About the Program

The Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Petroleum Engineering program combines innovation, science and sustainability, focusing on energy exploration and production. Students acquire advanced skills for optimizing energy extraction methods from Earth's extensive oil and gas reservoirs. Petroleum engineers are pivotal in evaluating geological formations, managing production processes, and shaping the energy landscape. Choosing a career in Petroleum Engineering not only offers lucrative opportunities but also contributes to a nation's development, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Petroleum engineers drive sustainable energy practices, influence economic projects and assess resources for transformative growth, guiding a nation's trajectory.
