Admission
The Petroleum Institute is a highly selective institution, granting admission only to those applicants who have demonstrated by their academic performance in secondary (high) school, or post-secondary school, that they can do the classroom and laboratory work required, are motivated to complete, and will profit from the programs offered by the PI. Criteria considered in evaluating students include:
- Courses taken in secondary or post-secondary school or college,
- Grades earned in those courses, and
- English language proficiency.
The admission requirements set out below are minimum requirements which may change. The Governing Board reserves the right to deviate from published admission requirements. In such cases, changes in admission policy will be widely publicized. Admission to the PI is primarily reserved for UAE Nationals; however, highly qualified non-nationals may apply and are admitted on a case-by-case basis.
Admission Process
Advertisements will be published in the local press each June stating the specific requirements for admission and inviting application from suitably qualified individuals. In order to be considered for admission an applicant must submit all the required forms and meet the minimum requirements for admission.
Upon admission, the student will be notified, instructed to take a physical examination and requested to report to the PI for orientation prior to the start of classes.
