Introduction

The main aim of the Bachelor of Engineering in Oil and gas Engineering is to train students to acquire knowledge and skills required for immediate employment as a professional career with enhanced ability to perform engineering tasks.

Objectives

  • enhance employability by developing skills and competencies relevant to the oil and gas industry.
  • develop transferable skills to levels demanded by employers, and for progression to higher education.
  • develop awareness of stakeholder and societal involvement in environmental issues related to the petroleum industry.

Entry requirements for admission of students

The duration of the Bachelor of Science programme is four (4) years, and to gain admission to the programme, an applicant must satisfy the following minimum entry requirements:

SSCE Applicants

Passes (A-D) in Core English Language, Core Mathematics and Integrated Science plus Elective Mathematics and any two (2) of the following: Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing, Engineering Science and Metalwork/Geography.

WASSCE Applicants

Passes (A1-C6) in core English Language, Core Mathematics, and Integrated Science plus a minimum of (C6) in Elective Mathematics and any two (2) of the following: Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing, Engineering Science and Metalwork/Geography.

Mature Applicants

Must be 25 years old with legitimate documentary proof which is at least five (5) years old at the time of application, must pass Mature Students’ Entrance Examinations conducted by KsTU, may have to attend, and pass an interview. Evidence of working experience will be an added advantage.

Foreign Applicants

Academic records of foreign applicants will be referred to GTEC for the determination of qualification equivalence and eligibility for admission as well as placement.

International Baccalaureate

Applicants with international Baccalaureate in science are eligible to apply. Such applicants must also possess a proficiency certificate in English. Please note that all certificates should be translated into English. Equivalences regarding the certificates would be sought at GTEC.
