Petroleum and Mining Engineering

B.Sc. in Petroleum and Mining Engineering

People's everyday life rely heavily on energy. Petroleum and Mining engineers are in great demand because they can address and solve major technological difficulties that will lead to energy security and socioeconomic development. Engineering is a hard and rewarding career that demands the creative use of a broad range of knowledge, including but not limited to mathematics, physics, geology, and chemistry.

Experts believe that oil, gas and mining will continue to play an essential part in the world's energy supply as global demand grows. Petroleum and mining engineers are tasked with making difficult project decisions to a large extent, putting them in a position of considerable responsibility. Furthermore, because hydrocarbon deposits and valuable minerals and metals for various purposes, from building materials to currency may be discovered in places as different as Asia, South America, and Europe, petroleum engineers will have fascinating prospects all over the world.

The Department of Petroleum and Mining Engineering offers two programs namely Petroleum Engineering and Mining Engineering. Both programs offer Bachelor of science (BSc.) in petroleum and mining engineering with concentration of Petroleum Engineering or concentration of Mining engineering. These two programs are designed to prepare graduates for mining, resources, petroleum, and related industries both in Kurdistan and abroad. These programs also facilitate graduates to carry on to higher education.

Courses are designed to give students basic knowledge in both sciences and engineering fundamentals as well as professional subjects of the fields. Optional courses are also offered as electives to accommodate special interest of students or special needs of the industry. Practical training is compulsory to familiarize students with industry. English, humanities, and social sciences courses are also requirements of the programs so that students have the opportunity to broaden their views as well as English skill.

Mining and petroleum engineering realized at Soran University by merging Petroleum Geoscience and Petroleum engineering.
