Under a well-balanced curriculum that aims to provide both breadth and depth across petroleum engineering specialisations, students will build a solid foundation in oil and gas exploration, production and development as they master core topics in petroleum geology, petroleum economy and well completion.

At the Faculty, students will have access to well-equipped laboratories and sophisticated computers equipped with licensed engineering software such as NEXUS, COMPASS, t-navigator and other commercial reservoir simulation software. Industrial-based projects will also open the way for insights from industry experts. By the end of this four-year programme, they will have learnt to address pressing issues and design innovative solutions that benefit society and organisations.
