Graduate Certificate in Petroleum Engineering Science

The petroleum industry never stands still.

A steady flow of technological advances constantly presents new commercial opportunities and raises environmental standards.

Engineers seeking a dynamic career in the field must raise their knowledge and skills in line with modern global best practice.Completed over 6 months full-time, the degree features an engaging blend of face-to-face tuition and practical problem solving.The program is developed and taught by world-class, industry-trained and research-active academics through our Australian School of Petroleum and Energy Resources (ASPER)—Australia’s only school of its kind, and the leading centre for integrated petroleum research and education throughout the Asia Pacific region.

For those who are based in Adelaide, we will be offering a blended delivery mode that combines face-to-face with remote learning in as many courses as possible, taking into consideration social distancing and hygiene. All lectures will continue to be delivered online for the remainder of the year, with some exceptions.

For our students who are studying offshore for the remainder of the 2020 Academic Year, the University will continue to offer high-quality access to the learning resources remotely. This includes all lectures, tutorials and other support material. Students will be advised in advance if there are course components that cannot be provided in remote mode and, wherever possible, offered alternative courses.
