Program description
Petroleum has been at the heart of some of the most significant scientific advances in human history when it comes to worldwide innovation and change. This is due to the fact that hydrocarbons are the foundation of our modern, energy-intensive civilizations.
CBU assists you in capitalising on this career opportunity by providing you with the skills necessary to establish a solid foundation in this area. As a small island with an incredible, delicately balanced way of life, we understand how petroleum and its byproducts impact nearly every element of human life and occupation.
Students who graduate from CBU with a BET Petroleum will have the abilities and expertise to extract, process, and refine petroleum resources. You'll also put a strong emphasis on environmental protection, which is an important challenge in today's oil and gas business.
