The Graduate Certificate can be an entry point for obtaining foundational qualifications in Petroleum Engineering, and for articulating to the Graduate Diploma (and subsequently the Masters degree) subject to having a credit average and no fails. Upon completion of this degree, candidates can articulate to the Petroleum Engineering stream of the Graduate Diploma in Engineering - students articulating are required to complete four additional courses (24UOC) to complete that program.
