The Petroleum Engineering Program aims to produce graduates having a professional capacity, political and ethical qualities, good health, meeting the demand of labors with high technical level of the country. In particular, the four program objectives are as follows:

1. Providing students with basic knowledge on mathematics and science in order to study professional knowledge and to do further study;

2. Educating students with basic engineering knowledge and needed major knowledge in order to be able to solve problems related to analysis, evaluation, design, fabrication, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, research and development of products in the fields of Petroleum Engineering;

3. Training students to improve their personal, professional, teamwork and communication skills in order to work in interdisciplinary and multicultural environments;

4. Providing students with good understanding of economics and politics, basic knowledge on social science and humanities suitable to the major in order to contribute effectively to the sustainable development of the community and the society.

The applicants can be considered based on six admission methods:

1. National Examination for High School Graduation,

2. VNU-HCM priority admission: VNU-HCM approved list of top High schools which students can apply their applications for admission,

3. MOET priority admission: Applicants got the Outstanding achievements, National awards, 

4. VNU-HCM examination,

5. Priority admission for those who have international certificates and/or foreigners,

6. National Examination for High School Graduation and interview for foreign study.

Note:

Based on the corresponding national high school examination, every year in July-August HCMUT publishes its minimum scores for applicants who want to apply to HCMUT. The minimum scores are considered as the first requirement. In principle, at the national high school examination, those who have gained the score higher than or equal to the published minimum score of related faculty or program can apply for HCMUT consideration. Depending on the quota of each faculty or program and depending on the quality of the applicants who have submitted, the benchmark would be later determined. The applicants who have gained the national high school examination score higher than or equal to the benchmark would be recruited.

Currently, for new student recruitment, Petroleum Engineering Program is firstly merged with geology engineering program. After two first semesters, students will be regrouped based on their professional expectations.
