Petroleum Engineering

Being the student of BA Industrial Design and Technology I don’t find this University is recommendable for any design student. They are not at all focused on the subjects and there are no rooms for customisation. The professors are biased, the staffs are unwelcoming and they offer such course information which is easily available on YouTube.

I choose Skoltech for several reasons. The first one is that I was studying Chemistry (oil refining) at Lomonosov MSU and at Skoltech I found an interesting Petroleum Engineering program. It seemed to me logical to cover both upstream and downstream, before going to work at a large oil corporation and aiming for low/middle-management positions.
The second reason is that while I was studying at MSU, I was building (or at least was trying) a startup. I truly believe that Skoltech is a great place for entrepreneurs. Here you can receive a lot of support for your ideas: connections, mentoring, entrepreneurial workshops and lectures, opportunity to visit local and international startup events, find a co-funder, it is even possible to get the first investment. This is sort of an incubator where people around you are ready to help, but you have to take the initiative yourself.
Another great thing about Skoltech is the American education style. You can choose classes yourself, all of them are entirely in English, professors often become your friends (if you are lucky and friendly enough, you can even grab a beer with them at the end of the course).
The last but not least, you will have a pretty good stipend. ;)

About this course
The MSc program is 2 years long: the first year is to strengthen your theoretical background, and the second year is to focus on research. Students have the freedom to choose courses and extracurricular activities to shape their individual trajectory, acquire soft skills, and gain entrepreneurial skills to prepare for job placement.
OUTCOMES
Skills and knowledge essential to effectively address complex challenges of hydrocarbon recovery
Using mathematical modeling, mathematical physics and data analysis techniques in oil and gas projects
Ability to effectively address in major oil production issues, including the development of unconventional and hard-to-recover reserves, such as heavy oil, shale oil, and offshore oil fields
Experience of application of these knowledge and skills in joint research and industrial projects with the industry's leading corporations and international labs from Russia, United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other countries
Insight into how the oil and gas sector
works, ability to identify and solve its
outstanding issues
Our graduates shape their own futures by choosing from a variety of career opportunities in industry, science and business:
Landing specialist positions in industry. Students are in demand among Russian and international oil and gas producers and service companies and succeed working for research and consulting.
Landing PhD positions and continuing research at leading Russian and international universities and research entities.
Starting a business on their own or through the Skolkovo innovation ecosystem with its extensive pool of experts, partners, consultants and investors.
Relevant bachelor's degree, or its equivalent in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geology, Petroleum Engineering and IT.
If your education has not been conducted in English, you will be expected to demonstrate evidence of an adequate level of English proficiency.
