Structure

  • The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) with Major 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 and the relevant major topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. This integrated structure makes the petroleum and relevant engineering major teaching curriculum unique. In the fifth year, students expand their technical petroleum engineering knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management, and undertake a final year petroleum engineering project. This degree allows students to undertake a major as part of their study in a five-year program.
  • A major is a great way to specialise and pursue topics of interest without narrowing future career options. All graduates of this degree
