Petroleum Engineering Master

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The consecutive Master's degree course in Petroleum Engineering provides specific training in the fields of drilling and production technology, reservoir technology, energy storage and distribution and deep geothermal energy. Even in times of climate protection and energy transition, the fossil fuels oil and natural gas remain a mainstay of our society. Through the further development of traditional petroleum engineering techniques and new areas of application such as the storage of energy from renewable sources and the use of deep geothermal energy, modern petroleum and natural gas engineers are making it possible to place the energy supply of the future on a more environmentally friendly basis. The Master's program is designed for 4 semesters or 2 years and comprises 15 modules. It is held in English. There are 3 specializations to choose from: Reservoir Management, Drilling and Production, and Deep Geothermal Systems. The program offers two main study directions: 'Reservoir Technologies' and 'Drilling and Production Technologies', both starting in the winter semester.
