by the Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Engineering
The Petroleum Geoengineering master’s programme builds on strong foundations in earth sciences (geology, geophysics, geoinformatics, hydrogeology) and also basic petroleum engineering basic skills for the development, production, processing and transportation of hydrocarbons. Students will have an overview of the entire upstream part of the petroleum industry. The programme focuses on competencies, skills and methods applied in geology, geophysics, petrophysics and geochemistry, which are essential for hydrocarbon exploration, field development and production projects. Special attention is given to the intersection between geology and petroleum engineering including but not limited to estimation, categorization and classification of resources and reserves as well as the management of petroleum exploration and production projects.
Applicants are screened based on the documents uploaded to the Dreamapply system. Those who do not meet the eligibility criteria (relevant bachelor’s degree, language certificate of B2 or higher, or proof of studies conducted in English) are filtered out.
Applicants are assessed based on their uploaded documents and can earn up to 30 points. Points are awarded for professional background (qualification and work experience) based on transcript of records (15 points), motivation letter (10 points), and ranking of the higher education institution where the previous degree was obtained (5 points).
The online entrance exam lasts 20-30 minutes and includes pre-set questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge, professional skills, thesis or project work, and language proficiency. Applicants can score up to 70 points: for professional background 50 points, spoken language skills 20 points.
Applicants can score a maximum of 100 points (30 points for document assessment and 70 points from the online entrance exam). Those who score at least 60 points will be admitted to the programme. Those who score less than 60 points will be rejected.
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 when applying for positions at multinational or national oil and gas companies, as well as international service companies such as Schlumberger.

Our faculty has a history of more than 300 years, which proves the continuous demand for our professionals. Due to the developing economy, the demand for raw materials, energy and water is increasing, thus the mining industry must also adapt. In the near future, global challenges such as low carbon dioxide emissions, circular economy, water mining or environmentally friendly mining must be solved. The professors and researchers of our faculty prepare our students for these challenges and their solutions.
