Welcome to the Graduate School at The Petroleum Institute
The PI is committed to provide world-class education in engineering and applied sciences in order to support and advance the petroleum and energy industries in UAE and beyond. Graduate education is a major part of this commitment and significant effort is put on it. Initiated in 2007, the PI offers today graduate programs that lead to Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, and Health Safety & Environmental Engineering and to Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Applied Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geosciences. The M.Eng. programs give more emphasis to applied aspects of the various engineering disciplines while the M.Sc. programs emphasize fundamentals and engineering research. Scholarships in the form of Teaching / Research Assistantships are available to graduate students with excellent academic record.
All programs consist of core and a wide variety of elective courses in order to fulfill all requests and interests of our students. Graduate courses are taught by PI and visiting faculty with significant experience in graduate education and research worldwide. In the second part of their studies, graduate students are engaged in on-going exciting research projects under the supervision of a PI faculty. PI is working towards the initiation of its own Ph.D. program which is expected to be launched in the near future.
Our graduate program aims to educate engineers and scientists for an outstanding professional career in industry, academia, government or services worldwide. The international and multicultural intellectual environment built by PI faculty, staff and students provides the basis for our graduates to excel in their professional life.
I encourage you to visit the Graduate School website that has been designed to provide all necessary information to existing and prospective students, physically visit the campus for a tour, or call our office to discover engineering excellence at PI.
