Academic Admission

The minimum admission requirement to an undergraduate programme of study is a recognized High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or equivalent internationally recognized qualification(s). Students with a lower HSLC grade than 7.5/10 or 15/20 or equivalent depending on the grading system of the country issuing the HSLC are provided with extra academic guidance and monitoring during the first year of their studies.

English Language Proficiency

The list below provides the minimum English Language Requirements (ELR) for enrollment to the programme of study. Students who do not possess any of the qualifications or stipulated grades listed below and hold IELTS with 4.5 and above, are required to take UNIC’s NEPTON English Placement Test (with no charge) and will receive English Language support classes.

• IELTS – 6 and above
• Anglia Examinations – Advanced and above
• Cambridge GCE AS Level English Language – C and above
• Cambridge GCE English A Levels – C and above
• Cambridge IGCSE or GCSE English as a First language – C and above
• Cambridge IGCSE or GCSE English as a Second language – B and above
• IB English A: Literature SL & HL – 4 and above
• IB English Standard Level (SL) – 5 and above
• IB English High Level (HL) – 4 and above
• Michigan Language Assessment (also known as Proficiency of Michigan) – 650 and above
• Password Test – 6 and above
• TOEFL (IBT) – 60 and above
• Cambridge Exams (First Certificate) – 160 and above or Pass
• Cambridge Exams (Proficiency Certificate) – 180 and above or Pass

Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, midterms, projects, and class participation.

Letter grades below are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.

The student must complete 240 ECTS and all program requirements. A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-‘ is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.

Upon successful completion of this programme the graduates are expected to:

1. Have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the processes and technologies involved in the production, separation, and secure transport of oil and gas;
2. Use analysis tools and skills acquired to plan for drilling and safe recovery of oil and gas for different types of reservoirs;
3. Use mathematics, basic science, and engineering techniques to solve problems related to oil and natural gas production;
4. Be familiar with the elements of oil and gas systems and their important role in the recovery and production of hydrocarbons;
5. Use available measurement data and simulation software to reconstruct a three-dimensional model of hydrocarbon reservoir;
6. Have in-depth understanding of system design and operation of oil and gas transport in different environments including testing and monitoring of the system using computer simulations and laboratory equipment;
7. Be aware of the impact and role of hydrocarbons on social, economics, and environmental factors;
8. Have a good understanding of the economics associated with the recovery and production of hydrocarbons;
9. Have deep knowledge of engineering concepts and technical requirements associated with surface production facilities;
10. Have a good understanding of the impact of geological properties and heterogeneities on the overall performance of the hydrocarbon reservoir;
11. Be aware of possible faults related to reservoir connectivity and ways of dealing with faults and accidents.
