FAQ

1. Can a student with a non engineering background be accepted for MSc in Petroleum Engineering?

Yes, students from a non engineering background (especially those from science backgrounds) can enrol in MSc in Petroleum Engineering by research. However, they need first to take a few prerequisite courses (typically two courses) before formally being registered as MSc students.

\

2. What type of fundings a student may receive to do his MSc or PhD by research at UTP?

There are different options for receiving funding to financially support MSc and PhD study by research at UTP. The internal funding include Graduate Assistantship (GA) and Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA).

\

3. What is the difference between GA and GRA?

GA is a scholarship scheme where UTP sponsors qualified students from the university financial resources. UTP allocates an annual budget for the GA scheme to pay for the tuition fees and monthly stipends.

\

GRA is a funding scheme where students are sponsored by their respective supervisors through different research grants offered by national, international, and industrial funders.
