Petroleum engineers figure out the best way to extract oil and gas from deposits below the Earth’s surface. They work closely with other professionals to understand the geological and geophysical characteristics of particular reservoirs, before designing, testing and implementing the most effective and profitable extraction method for that site.

This specialisation in Petroleum Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Petroleum Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) or Master of Professional Engineering (Subsea Engineering).
