The objective of this course is to provide advanced training in the field of Petroleum Geoscience with practical training in an industrial environment. The course starts in the first semester of every academic year, usually in the month of June or July. At the end of the second semester, students are required to undertake an eight-week practical assignment, usually in an E&P or Service company.
