    Course Summary

    The University of Aberdeen’s Petroleum Engineering MEng is a 5 year program designed to supply MEng graduates to the ever-growing petroleum industry. As demand for petroleum continues to grow, as does demand for cleaner and more environmentally sound extraction and energy generation techniques, so such engineers are very much sought-after.

    You’ll study Petroleum Engineering at Aberdeen, at the heart of the oil and gas industry for the North Sea. You’ll do so alongside world-leading experts in both geoscience and industry-based engineering.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
