Shell is sponsoring four scholarships in the Department ofGeotechnology for MSc students in Petroleum Engineering. Two Shellscholarships cover half the tuition fee for 2 EU students for the full2 year MSc programme. Two more scholarships cover half the tuition feeand expenses for non-EU students. Delft University of Technology, theNetherlands, is renowned for its high standard and quality ofinnovative research and education. We offer you the opportunity tobecome a petroleum engineer with a broad background knowledge thatallows you to really make the most of your future.

Applicants who wish to be considered for the Shell Scholarships shouldsend an email to the MSc coordinator and thereafter follow the normalapplication procedure (see below).

MSc in Applied Earth Sciences
Specialisation Petroleum Engineering

The specialization Petroleum Engineering includes all aspects of theupstream petroleum industry from reservoir geology and engineering, todrilling techniques and economic evaluation of projects. Significanteffort is dedicated to the underlying fundamentals thus reinforcingstudents' ability to respond to problems of the future.

The two year courseputs great emphasis on multi-disciplinary work, integrating engineeringand geosciences. You will integrate all areas of knowledge of petroleumengineering, geophysics, production geology, reservoir engineering,petrophysics, and production technology. You will develop the skills tomanage the development of an oil or gas field or undertake associatedresearch.

 Each student will undertake an independent final thesis.The thesis subject is selected on the basis of the input of the studentand their mentor and sponsor. The MSc programme takes two years an d isworth a total of 120 ECTS credits. More information on course detailsis found at our website www.ta.tudelft.nl. The MSc course is conducted in English.
