Master in Petroleum Engineering
Politecnico di Torino - The engineering faculty
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this Master's degree is to prepare the student to meet the demands of a career in Petroleum Engineering with the knowledge and skills necessary to assess, maintain, and provide solutions for all the technological aspects of Petroleum Engineering.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Acceptance into this program is intended for candidates who have a degree in a five-year or other specialized program and who majored in Environmental and Territorial Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering (specializing in Hydraulics), or for graduates with equivalent qualifications from foreign universities whose degree work provides the suitable prerequisites for enrolment. Candidates must have received their degree no more than two years previous to the beginning of their entrance into the Master's program. Their grade average cannot be below 100/110 (or 90/100). All candidates must be 28 years old or younger.
Certified competency in the English language is required for all candidates, whether from Italy or from abroad.
The Commitee, upon unquestionable judgment, might grant justified dispensation from the eligibility requirements.
SELECTION - ADMISSION PROCESS
Candidates for the Master's program will be reviewed by a committee composed of professors from the Politecnico di Torino and representatives from some of Eni's companies and divisions. The committee will select participants based on analysis of their résumé, qualifications, and entry exam. No more than 45 engineering graduates will be admitted into the program.
COURSEWORK
The Master's program will last for one year. Seven months will be dedicated to full-time lessons and class work. Three to four months will be spent in on-site apprenticeship with one of the divisions of the ENI Group. All lessons and lab work will take place at the Politecnico di Torino proper.
COURSE CONTENT
The courses facilitate student learning not only through the use of theoretical lessons and practical class work on technical subjects such as geology, geophysics, oil field engineering, and drilling and well completion, but also with the help of economic and security fundamentals.
The Project Management Laboratory is designed to facilitate the study of the development and cultivation of a hydrocarbon reservoir, while giving students an idea of what it is actually like to manage an oil well.
