The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications, and engineering principles. Over the course of the program, the subjects studied changed from more general engineering topics to very specific petroleum-related topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. This integrated structure makes the petroleum engineering teaching curriculum unique. In the first year, students study a range of engineering, mathematics, and physics courses that are common to many branches of engineering. Students are also introduced to the petroleum industry and to the key geological, physical, and chemical principles that govern recovery from petroleum reservoirs. In the second and third years, these areas of study are developed with the addition of a broader range of petroleum engineering and geosciences topics. In the fourth year, students expand their technical knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management as well as undertake a final year project. Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.

The tuition fee is to be charged in national currency so it may vary in the event of changes in exchange rates. Following Australia's COVID-19 restrictions, please contact the Unibroad team for further information. This program is also available part-time. For Unibroad applicants, the application fee of AUD 100 will be waived. For our students who are studying offshore in 2022, the University will continue to offer high-quality access to the learning resources remotely for most programs. Students commencing in July must undertake Maths 1B in Summer School.
