Petroleum Engineering - Master of Science Degree Programme
Norway is recognized worldwide as a leader in the advances of offshore petroleum. With Stavanger being the oil capital of the North Sea, the Department of Energy and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Stavanger has close ties with the local and international industry.
The MSc in Petroleum Engineering is uniquely focused on the specific needs of the upstream petroleum industry and explores challenges currently being faced by practicing petroleum engineers.
The degree in Petroleum Engineering has been offered by our institution since 1977 and is at the forefront of petroleum engineering education.
