B. Eng (Hons) in Petroleum Engineering

This program is strategically developed to equip students with:

• A high-caliber undergraduate education in engineering, blending petroleum, gas, and exploration engineering to meet the evolving demands of the oil and gas industry.
• The capability to apply engineering principles in designing, developing, and operating systems for the identification, extraction, processing, and refining of crude petroleum and natural gas, encompassing mining and drilling systems, processing and refining facilities, storage infrastructure, transportation networks, and associated environmental and safety systems.
• Understanding on theoretical component is further enhanced with hands on sessions in our laboratory and we also prepare students with psychomotor skills, critical thinking skills and good communication skills.

Any qualification that APU accepts as equivalent to the above.
 

Note: The above entry requirements may differ for specific programmes based on the latest programme standards published by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). The qualification and entry requirements for the programmes will be determined based on the "Comparison List of Equivalency of International Qualifications with SPM (O-Levels equivalent) and STPM (A-Levels equivalent)" published by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

Candidates who wish to study Engineering Degree course must not be color blind or physically handicapped which makes him/her unable to conduct experimental/practical work and affect the learning process leading to potential errors towards professional practice as well. This is in line with the requirements of engineering professional bodies where safe engineering practices is mandatory. All International Students need to go through EMGS Medical Screening, if the student is found to be color blind; the Medical Screening maybe failed.
