Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum)
University of Adelaide
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00123M
Want to travel the world and face new challenges every day? Petroleum engineering is one of the highest paid engineering fields internationally, with exciting opportunities for qualified graduates. Petroleum engineers help sustain societys way of life by ensuring we can meet our energy demands. They provide oil and gas in efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible ways.
Structure
- The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) 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. This integrated structure makes the petroleum engineering teaching curriculum unique.
- In the first year, students study a range of engineering, mathematics and physics 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, these areas of study are developed with the addition of a broader range of petroleum engineering and geosciences topics. In fourth year, students expand their technical knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management as well as undertake a final year project.
