General Information
The main mission of the oil and gas engineering specialty is to train personnel with the necessary knowledge and skills in the oil and gas industry and to achieve high results, such as educating the next generation of the country. The oil and gas industry plays a leading role in the country's economy. Azerbaijan is included in the list of the best countries with large hydrocarbon reserves, developed and produced. Therefore, the oil and gas sector of the country's economy is always in need of highly qualified specialists.
On May 31, 2012, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan issued a special permit (license) to Baku Higher Oil School for the training of specialists at the bachelor's level in Oil and Gas Engineering. In the same year, the Peroleum Engineering Department was launched at the High School.
Training in bachelor's and master's degree programs in oil and gas engineering is conducted based on a curriculum developed by Heriot-Watt University in the United Kingdom. Professional teachers and representatives of industrial enterprises are involved in the training of specialists.
Oil and gas engineering program prepares specialists for the educational program at three levels: bachelor's, master's and doctoral. Starting from October 2020, students have been enrolled in the additional education program.
