Requirements
Qualification Requirements
The application requirements for the study program in “Petroleum Engineering” are:
Previous bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in
- Petroleum Engineering
- or closely related courses
Min ECTS points required:
- 180
If you do not have a bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering, but in another comparable discipline, the curriculum of your bachelor's program should contain at least 48 ECTS Credit Points (CP) in basic engineering disciplines, of which 32 ECTS CP must be in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and electrical, and 16 ECTS CP in the fields of mechanics and mechanical engineering; 25 ECTS CP in the field of oil and gas extraction technology, and deep drilling technology; and at least 7 ECTS CP in the field of geosciences.
Should the applicant on the day of the application not yet hold a degree, a minimum of 150 completed ECTS points is required for the application to be processed. In this case, any admission is only preliminary and the applicant is required to show a graduation certificate when the registration program starts.
