Petroleum Engineering/ Offshore Technology

University of Stavanger

Du skal studere lenge i Stavanger for å rekke over alt denne regionen har å by på. Variasjon er nemlig ett av kjennetegnene ved unviersitetsbyen Stavanger. Få steder passer vel tuistklisjeen "et Norge i miniatyr" bedre enn nettopp her. Norges mest pulserende utelivsby venter på deg. UiS ligger på et 1200 dekar stort område i naturskjønne omgivelser på Ullandhaug med Universitetsbibliotek, bokhandel, kafeer, kaffebar, treningsfasiliteter og helsetjenester. Vi er spesielt stolte av SiS sportssenter på 5600 m2 som ligger sentralt på Campus.

In a competitive world it is important to have all the advantages that come with higher education. Through our master's program in Petroleum Engineering students will combine the importance of strong theoretical comprehension with practical tools at an expert level.

Students can use the Faculty's close contacts with the oil industry in their research, focusing on current challenges facing local engineers. Our program is designed for a mixture of Norwegian and foreign students, and the Norwegian equivalent of a M.Sc. has been offered since 1977.

The Master programme will prepare the students for a career in the international oil industry as well as provide a sufficient basis for doctoral studies and the pursuit of an academic career in education and research. In addition to our academic program, students enjoy a broad range of social and cultural activities in Stavanger.

All students must have a Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum Engineering or equivalent. Students with a bachelor's degree in a closely related field may also be admitted by special permission but may be required to take extra courses.

Applicants with work experience are preferred. Women and candidates from developing nations are encouraged to apply.
