The aim of the program is to train highly qualified engineers who possess the knowledge and skills needed for the engineering work involved in the planning, implementation and operation of the technology and infrastructure essential for the exploration, production, processing and transport of oil, natural gas and water supplies. Graduates possess the theoretical knowledge needed to carry out and manage exploration and production tasks in their area of expertise at a level that meets international standards, and have the background needed to pursue doctoral studies. The Petroleum Engineering Department of the University of Miskolc is the only institution in Hungary offering Petroleum Engineering programs. We have been training capable petroleum engineering graduates since 1951 and have awarded more than 800 M.S. degrees so far. Our graduates work in all sectors of the Hungarian petroleum and gas industry and in many of the oil producing countries of the world. We started offering graduate programs in English for international students more than 25 years ago. Our curricula are comparable to those offered by leading US schools and provide students comprehensive engineering and advanced courses.
Entry requirement is BSc degree in Petroleum engineering or Chemical engineering in condition if it includes some petroleum upstream courses.
