if i’m a science stream student (spm level), what are the required credits for applying to utp for petroleum engineering?
Between Curtin, Heriot-Watt and UCSI, which is the best? Let’s say budget is not an issue, rather the path towards attaining the degree in terms of quality of teaching, facilities, campus environment, and i presume all three are accredited by Malaysia’s Lembaga Jurutera Board? Thank you so much for your time.
All are top for petroleum engineering with different strengths. You can choose which one that fits your needs
what is chemical engineering (with oil & gas technology)? is it something close to petroleum engineering? thx
Yes, it is
what is the risk if i choose IPTA for petroleum engineer degree
Not sure what you mean by risk
I just finished my Spm and i am eager to continue my studies in engineering.I love cars but i don’t want to be the one who will be working with the engines.I am a Arts stream student.Kindly please reply the best engineering course for me.I will be visiting the eduspiral after getting the SPM results.Thank you
You will need at least 3 credits including Maths & Science in order to study Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering.
I’m interested in petroleum engineering. But is it recommended that I take this considering our country’s petroleum which is about to finish? And will be able to get a stable job?
How do you know that Malaysia’s petroleum deposits is about to be depleted? Secondly, you can always find work in other countries.
I had finished my foundation in TATIUC Terengganu. I wanted to do my degree in petroleum engineering. My MUET is still in process. so is there any suggestions for me?
You can apply to Curtin, Heriot-Watt or UCSI University depending on your budget and qualification.
thoughts on applying to UTP for petroleum engineering? employment opportunities upon graduation?
Petroleum Engineering employment depends on demand for petroleum
