YOUR FUTURE. YOUR CHOICE.Petroleum engineering very specifically involves the development and integration of new technology for the oil and gas industry. Engineers who wish to forge a career in the industry need a deeper knowledge of the discipline and particular skills, as well as an understanding of the socio-political context of the industry.

PETROLEUM OPENLEARNING PROGRAMOur Petroleum Open Learning Program is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to meet the demands of working in the oil and gas industry today and into the future.

Professionals in the oil and gas industry often work in

remote locations and struggle to attend traditional

university programs. At UNSW School of Petroleum

Engineering, we have worked together with industry to

structure the following programs so they can be

delivered online.

• • Master of Engineering Science

• • Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science

• • Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science.

Contact the School directly for further details about

the Open Learning Program.

Our current online learning students are working all

over the world including Australia, New Zealand,

Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Taiwan,

Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, Oman, Yemen,

South Africa, Holland, Spain, England, Scotland,

Canada and USA.
