Oil and gas occur in the tiny spaces between grains of rock, often three to four kilometres below the surface of the earth or sea floor. Have you ever thought about the problem of figuring out where it is, how much is there, how to get it out and what its worth? This is the job of a petroleum engineer. Petroleum engineers earn a fantastic income, travel the world, and work on interesting, multi-million dollar projects. They use leading-edge technology, such as computer simulations and 3D virtual reality, to solve the many challenges of getting natural resources out of the earth.

The University of Adelaide has over 80 exchange agreements with partner universities around the world. These agreements allow students to study part of their degree at one of our partner universities for one or two semesters. International students are also encouraged to apply for a ‘3rd country’ experience. This session will detail the processes involved for students wanting to study overseas through one of the University’s exchange agreements. There will be also involvement from students who have recently returned from their overseas study and there should be time for questions.
