Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering

The Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering with Honours at Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) is an undergraduate engineering degree combining petroleum, gas, and exploration engineering. Students study the fundamentals of engineering in areas such as Petroleum Engineering, Petroleum Geology, and Engineering Materials. The programme also builds core engineering skills, IT skills, and entrepreneurship, alongside mathematical foundations.

Teaching is full time, with a stated duration of 4 years. The curriculum includes an infusion of software applications for petroleum engineering, with student learning and research supported by industrial software and hands-on practical experience. Projects include the Field Development Project and Final Year Project, using petroleum engineering related software tools, plus modern industrial tools such as integrated production modelling and reservoir engineering simulation.

The programme leads to career areas including drilling engineer, production engineer, reservoir engineer, and manager. Programme Educational Objectives focus on preparing students to become practising petroleum engineering professionals and to pursue engineering innovation through career advancement opportunities and/or advanced studies.

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. All International Students need to go through EMGS Medical Screening, if the student is found to be color blind; the Medical Screening maybe failed.
