First, pay your tuition to get your Final Letter of Acceptance, your golden ticket to Hungary! Then grab your Hungarian VISA and come to UM for registration week, and let your international mentor help you settle in and explore the campus.
The Petroleum Geoengineering master’s programme builds on strong foundations in earth sciences (geology, geophysics, geoinformatics, hydrogeology) and also basic petroleum engineering basic skills for the development, production, processing and transportation of hydrocarbons. Students will have an overview of the entire upstream part of the petroleum industry. The programme focuses on competencies, skills and methods applied in geology, geophysics, petrophysics and geochemistry, which are essential for hydrocarbon exploration, field development and production projects. Special attention is given to the intersection between geology and petroleum engineering including but not limited to estimation, categorization and classification of resources and reserves as well as the management of petroleum exploration and production projects.

Our faculty has a history of more than 300 years, which proves the continuous demand for our professionals. Due to the developing economy, the demand for raw materials, energy and water is increasing, thus the mining industry must also adapt. In the near future, global challenges such as low carbon dioxide emissions, circular economy, water mining or environmentally friendly mining must be solved. The professors and researchers of our faculty prepare our students for these challenges and their solutions.
