Program Overview

Under a well-balanced curriculum that aims to provide both breadth and depth across petroleum engineering specialisations, students will build a solid foundation in oil and gas exploration, production and development as they master core topics in petroleum geology, petroleum economy and well completion.

At the Faculty, students will have access to well-equipped laboratories and sophisticated computers equipped with licensed engineering software such as NEXUS, COMPASS, t-navigator and other commercial reservoir simulation software. Industrial-based projects will also open the way for insights from industry experts. By the end of this four-year programme, they will have learnt to address pressing issues and design innovative solutions that benefit society and organisations.

This programme received a 100% graduate employability score in the Ministry of Higher

All of UCSI University’s engineering degree programmes comply with the latest requirements for accreditation by the Malaysian Engineering Accreditation Council, which fulfils the international requirements drafted in the Washington Accord.

The structure of the Petroleum Engineering curriculum is developed to provide both breadth and depth across the range of Petroleum Engineering specialisations in order to produce competent graduates. The teaching and learning approaches vary according to the nature of course or topic being delivered. The programme employs a range of teaching methods to ensure the successful achievement of the learning outcomes of its programmes that include:
