Bachelor of Engineering in Oil and Gas Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering in Oil and Gas Engineering at All Nations University is offered through the School of Engineering. It prepares you for a career in the oil and gas industry, covering the technical and operational sides of the field. Entry to this programme is less competitive than to many other engineering degrees, so it is worth considering if you are keen on this sector.

What oil and gas engineering covers

Programmes of this kind typically begin with engineering fundamentals such as mathematics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics, before moving into petroleum-specific topics. You learn how to locate and evaluate hydrocarbon reserves, how to drill and complete wells, and how to manage production for maximum output. Safety and environmental protection are also central to the field, so you will study risk assessment and industry regulations.

How competitive is entry?

This programme is considered less competitive to enter compared with many other engineering programmes at Ghanaian universities. That means it can be a realistic choice if your WASSCE aggregate is not at the top of the range, but you still need to meet the school's admission requirements in the relevant subjects. Always check the official entry requirements for the most current information.

Career options after graduation

Most graduates of oil and gas engineering programmes go into the petroleum industry, working for exploration and production companies, drilling contractors, and service providers. Others find roles in midstream and downstream operations, including pipeline transportation, refining, and distribution. There are also opportunities in regulatory agencies, consultancy firms, and energy policy bodies.
