Petroleum Engineering is an engineering field that involves exploring and producing hydrocarbons from a specific reservoir. The Petroleum Engineering curriculum is developed to prepare students to design solutions for complex petroleum engineering problems and design systems within the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry.

The programme stresses the development of strong fundamentals in mathematics, sciences, and engineering, followed by thorough coverage of fundamental petroleum engineering courses based on the four domains recognised by SPE: Petroleum Exploration and formation evaluation, Reservoir engineering, Production engineering, and Drilling engineering. These courses illustrate the application of engineering principles to the type of problems and solution methods used in the petroleum industry. In addition, students must enrol in different general courses categorised as national and university requirements to enhance students' soft skills and capabilities. Co-Curriculum as well as Ethics & Integrity are also part of the curriculum.

In the final years of study, students will have the opportunity to specialise in one of these selected areas:

• Reservoir Engineering
• Drilling Engineering
• Production Engineering
• Renewable Energy
