MSc in Geology (Petroleum Geosciences)

Mission

To provide a high-quality education in petroleum geology and geophysics and to produce graduates for successful and socially and ethically responsible careers in the petroleum industry that meet or exceed the needs and expectations of ADNOC and other industry sponsors.

Exciting Research in Petroleum Geosciences
