Degree: Masters
Specialist: Chemical engineering and oil refinery.
This specialist considered as one of the important scientific branches in industry, especially in the gas-oil refinery sector, as it has an important role in the energy production field required by the whole world recently. The international energy demands require more need for the crude oil and petrochemical products, besides the developments achieved by producing and using the eco-friendly materials and reduce the pollution generated from the waste accompanied with the refinery processes of the oil and gas.
The graduate students study in the first year many courses related to the chemical engineering specialist, like Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Fluid Flow, Thermodynamics, and modeling. There would be also a core courses related into the oil-gas refinery besides an elective course that would be chosen by the student. Also, English language course will be taught based on international curricula that would be helpful to improve the students’ language skills and help writing the thesis successfully.
In the second year of graduate studies, the student will select a research topic for graduation thesis. The research topic will be selected among several topics presented by the department faculty members. All topics are related to the chemical engineering and the department will provide all logistic support i.e. instruments, equipment, and scientific references.
Prospective workplaces for graduates in Oil and Gas refinery engineering fields:
