    Distance learning PhD Programmes in Petroleum Engineering

    Petroleum engineering is a field that is constantly innovating. Pupils studying this field might learn how to develop plans to drill into the ground, how to design the most efficient equipment and how to collaborate with geoscientists to gain an understanding of the earth surrounding a well.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.

    Online or distance learning refers to the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning, one can access education at any time and from any location with an available internet connection.
