Engineers seeking a similarly dynamic career in the field must raise their knowledge and skills in line with modern global best practice.Our new Graduate Diploma of Petroleum Engineering Science gives you that power.

This cross-disciplinary degree is suitable for petroleum engineering bachelor graduates wishing to advance their skills and seeking a new path.Completed over 12 months full-time, the degree features an engaging blend of face-to-face tuition, practical problem solving, and team projects.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.
