SHORT DESCRIPTION: Petroleum Geoengineering PgDprogram builds up on strong earth sciences (geology, geophysics, geoinformatics, hydrogeology) and also petroleum engineering basic skills in development, production, processing and transportation of hydrocarbons. Students will have an overview of the whole upstream part of the petroleum industry. The program focuses on competencies, skills and methods applied in geology, geophysics, petrophysics and geochemistry as demanded by hydrocarbon exploration, field development and production projects. Special attention is paid to the grey area between geology and petroleum engineering including but not limited to estimation, categorization and classification of resources and reserves as well as management of petroleum exploration and production projects.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATION:
Stage 1 – Eligibility Screening:
Based on the documents uploaded to the Dreamapply system filtering out applicants who are not eligible (relevance of bachelor’s degree to those listed in the programme offer description, no language certificate (B2 or higher) of any kind, or a certificate of study conducted in English).
Stage 2 – Evaluation based on uploaded documents:
Based on the documents uploaded to the Dreamapply system, applicants may be awarded 30 points. Professional background (qualification and work experience) based on transcript of records (15 points) and motivation letter (10 points) as well as ranking of HEI where the previous degree was obtained (5 points).
Stage 3 – Online Entrance Exam:
During the 20-30 minute online entrance exam, we use pre-set entrance questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge and skills related to profession, topic of previous thesis work or project assignment and language proficiency. Applicants can score a maximum of 70 points (professional background: 50 points + spoken language: 20 points).
Stage 4 – Final Evaluation:
Applicants can score a maximum of 100 points (evaluation based on uploaded documents: 30 points and online entrance exam: 70 points). Applicants who score at least 60 points will be admitted to the MBA program. Applicants who score less than 60 points will be rejected.
CAREER PROSPECTS: Since the petroleum sector is one of the most globalized industries in our time, the Petroleum geoengineering programme gives a great advantage to the graduates to apply for positions at multinational or national oil and gas companies, at international service companies such as Schlumberger.
