The world is currently experiencing an energy transition, a shift towards renewable energy and away from petroleum energy due to concerns about carbon emissions. Our Energy Engineering programmes aims to train graduates to navigate this transition effectively by equipping them with skills to work in both traditional oil and gas industries and renewable energy sectors. The programmes have also incorporated data science and analytics as a new core component based on industry feedback as petroleum and energy engineers are making increasing use of computer information and processing systems to optimize decision making and management of operations.

Career options are diverse, ranging from engineering roles in oil and gas to design and policy positions in renewable energy. Oil and gas companies are also incorporating renewable energy projects into their operations as they aim for "Net Zero Carbon" operations, creating opportunities for graduates to work in both areas. Additionally, the skills learned in petroleum engineering are transferable to other fields like geothermal and carbon capture and storage, ensuring continued employment opportunities as the energy landscape evolves.
