Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geosciences

– Study Environment

Students on Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geosciences can make use of some truly excellent facilities, together with the students from NTNU's 5 year study programme in Petroleum Geosciences and Engineering. The academic environment encompasses a broad spectrum of fields and is multi-cultural in nature.

International focus

An international atmosphere has existed at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum from the very beginning, grounded in the many teachers, researchers and students from various countries. The department actively cooperates with countries like Russia, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Angola, USA, Australia; altogether more than 50 countries. In addition are Ph.D-positions often awarded to international candidates. These positions also constitute the basis for international research cooperation. Professors have individual scientific cooperation with various foreign institutions. 

Fieldwork

Geosciences involve a great deal of field studies and excursions as a part of the teaching. This is an useful and interesting way of learning about nature and the geological processes, and is highly popular among the students.

The field studies in the foundational course in Geology are primarily carried out in the county of Trøndelag where NTNU is situated. The advanced courses also include field studies in the Oslo area, in the northern region Finnmark, at Svalbard, in Great Britain and Spain.

Field studies and excursions are equally important in the engineering and technology subjects as they are in the geosciences. Here you will visit plants and industrial enterprises of various sizes all over the country, or tunnel and construction projects. We also visit natural areas that require special measures as regards the environment. Excursions and field studies change from year to year in order to make the studies as up-to-date as possible.

Student associations

Bergstuderendes Forening (student association) is one of the oldest student associations, with traditions originating from 1757. It is important to our members to maintain these traditions, and they remain a key factor in maintaining a successful relations with our former members now working in industry, who are generous with their good ideas and constructive criticism. The association is run by students (aided by some former members). The board consists of 8 individuals and a number of others, who are chosen at our general assembly every semester.
