Where Can I Study Oil Mechanics for My Master's Degree in Europe?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding suitable master's degree programs in Oil Mechanics or related fields in Europe, particularly focusing on mechanical engineering in the oil and gas sector. Participants explore various universities and programs, while also addressing terminology and the relevance of different engineering disciplines.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for master's programs specifically in Oil Mechanics in Europe, emphasizing the urgency of their request.
  • Another participant suggests the University of Leoben as a potential option, although it is not in Germany.
  • Some participants argue for considering programs in Western Australia, highlighting its significance in the oil and gas industry and mentioning specific universities that offer relevant master's programs.
  • A participant points out that the terminology used may be a barrier, suggesting that "Petroleum Engineering" or "Chemical Engineering" might be more appropriate terms to search for in Europe.
  • Another participant asserts that a standard mechanical engineering degree would cover the necessary knowledge for the oil and gas industry, implying that specialized programs may be rare.
  • Links to specific master's programs in petroleum engineering and geosciences engineering at a Norwegian university are provided, although they note that the prerequisite degrees are in Norwegian.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the importance of studying in Germany versus other regions like Australia. There is no consensus on the availability of specialized programs in Oil Mechanics, with some suggesting broader engineering degrees may suffice.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight potential issues with terminology and the specificity of degree programs, indicating that the search for suitable qualifications may depend on how the field is categorized in different countries.

Hey Folk! I need your help! I am going to study abroad for my master degree, but I cannot find relevant university for my qualification. My qualification is Oil Mechanics (Mechanican engineering of OIL and gas, Oil machinery) and I want to study my master in the European countries, particulary in Germany. Who can help me?

Why Germany? Why not somewhere like Western Australia, in the resources capital of the world. We have the North West Australian shelf which is only just being tapped now. Plus there have been some big oil deposits found around here. Oil and Natural Gas see big sectors in Australia and are just getting bigger.

University of Western Australia and Curtin University both have Oil and Gas masters programs

Thank your suggestions, but Germany is not important, I need European countries. Also there are many faculties regarding mechanical enginerring such as Mechatronics and robotics, automation, cars. BUT I NEED ONLY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING REGARDING OIL AND GAS. OIL MECHANICS. It is very urgent!
 
Could it be that you did not search for the correct terminology?

Here in the US, what you described can be categorized under "Petroleum engineering". In fact, it may also fall under Chemical Engineering if a school as a separate specialization in petroleum engineering. So you may want to do another search using such terminology in Europe.

You're extremely unlikely to find such a qualification.

What you're looking for is just a standard mechanical engineering degree, because that'll be what teaches you most about mechanical engineering in the oil & gas industry.

They have the prerequisite bachelor degree's as well but those are in Norwegian.
