Curriculum Description: The aim of the Petroleum Engineering course is to train highly qualified engineers for the petroleum industry. The graduates will work in research, production and/or consultancy within a very international industry: petroleum production.

The MSc Program in Petroleum Engineering is interdisciplinary and includes a number of engineering disciplines. The program comprises the following areas:

Geology, Geophysics and Rock Mechanics Reservoir Engineering and Process Technology

Each student can choose to focus on topics within geology and geophysics or topics within reservoir engineering and production. The basic skills in petroleum engineering are the same for all students.

See website for further information: http://www.kt.dtu.dk/English/Uddannelse/Uddannelser/Petro_retning.aspx

Program Admission Requirements: Admission to the M.Sc. Program in Petroleum Engineering is offered to students with at least a Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum, Geological, Chemical, Mechanical or Civil engineering or an equivalent background. Applicants should have solid skills in general chemistry, thermodynamics, physics, analytical and applied mathematics. Confirmed knowledge of English is required.
