This accelerated option allows talented undergraduate students in Petroleum Engineering to pursue a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree concurrently with their Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). This pathway can shorten the time to complete both degrees to six years, compared to the standard seven years. Students can begin earning graduate credits while still fulfilling their undergraduate requirements. Up to two technical elective courses from the Bachelor's program can be counted towards both the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees, provided students complete additional work for these courses and achieve a grade of 'B' or better. This program aims to facilitate access to postgraduate studies, provide advanced knowledge and skills for leadership roles, and prepare graduates for professional registration and industry demands.
