Oil and Gas Engineering at University of Nicosia

About

Overview The specific objectives of the Oil and Gas Engineering programme from University of Nicosia are to:Facilitate learning in areas of oil and gas engineering that are directly linked to industry and current state-of-the-art technology;Provide the theoretical and computational skills necessary for the solution of both theoretical and practical engineering problems in the field of oil and gas energy;Provide practical and experimental hands-on experience that allows the students to link directly to fundamental knowledge and theory;Prepare students to work alone or in groups in order to provide engineering solutions;Prepare students to design/implement systems and processes towards the solution of engineering problems in the field of oil and gas energy;Develop communications skills including the abilities to write technical reports and present their work before an audience;Provide students with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competence in their area and become successful professionals throughout their lifetime;Prepare students for post-graduate studies and research in the field of oil and gas engineering.Career ProspectsIt is expected that the discovery of oil and gas in the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone will prompt the establishment of new companies and operations with an increasing number of job opportunities. This will result to more science-oriented technical staff who would like to attend an undergraduate program that will turn them into high-level technical/engineering staff for the various operational technologies and processes in the oil and gas fields.The oil and gas industry offers a variety of careers for graduates of this program to work at its refineries, terminals, chemical plants, or on exploration and production on-shore/off-shore facilities. The following are examples of some of the career options available either off-shore or on-shore:Petroleum EngineerProduction EngineerDrilling EngineerReservoir EngineerProcess EngineerPetroleum GeologistProject EngineerResearch & Development

The Oil and Gas Engineering programme from University of Nicosia provide fundamental knowledge, analytical skills, and engineering tools to students in order to cope successfully in a technologically challenging environment in the oil and gas industry;
