Graduate Certificate in Petroleum Engineering Science

Step up in contemporary petroleum engineering

The petroleum industry never stands still. A steady flow of technological advances constantly presents new commercial opportunities and raises environmental standards. Engineers seeking a dynamic career in the field must raise their knowledge and skills in line with modern global best practice.

Our new Graduate Certificate of Petroleum Engineering Science starts you on that path. This cross-disciplinary degree is suitable for petroleum engineering bachelor graduates wishing to advance their skills.

Completed over 6 months full-time, the degree features an engaging blend of face-to-face tuition and practical problem solving.

The program is developed and taught by world-class, industry-trained and research-active academics through our Australian School of Petroleum and Energy Resources (ASPER)-Australia's only school of its kind, and the leading centre for integrated petroleum research and education throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The wide-ranging and internationally informed curriculum draws on ASPER's strong collaborations with industry and other leading universities around the world, delivering you:

• basic knowledge of contemporary global petroleum engineering developments, including reservoir simulation, uncertainty modelling, enhanced oil recovery, advanced geomechanics and machine-learning applications in petroleum engineering.
• skills in using appropriate, environmentally responsible petroleum engineering methods and techniques in drilling, reservoir and production engineering
• skills in formulating and solving petroleum engineering problems using best-practice methods

• specialised petroleum engineering technical and creative capabilities
• enhanced interpersonal communication and teamwork skills.

Interaction with ASPER's world-recognised staff and guest industry presenters will also ensure you emerge with a sound base of international connections and real-world insight.

You'll emerge ready to enter the upstream petroleum industry in Australia or anywhere else in the world You may also choose to continue your studies with our Graduate Diploma of Petroleum Engineering Science.
