With Iraq being one of the prominent oil-producing countries, the petroleum industry within the nation is one of the main contributors to the country’s GDP. Petroleum Engineers are required by such industry to provide the manufacturers the oil and gas needed to produce more than three hundred products we use every day such as cosmetics, medicines, plastics and textiles. Some of the products that are derived from petroleum include kerosene, propane, heating oil, diesel fuel and jet fuel just to name a few.
The department offers four-year bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering. Such degree would enable graduates to work as petroleum engineers for oil and gas companies. The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Knowledge University is an exciting and stimulating place for learning. Our staff are innovative and creative practitioners who offer expertise in their field and bring their own energy and enthusiasm to their work. The laboratories within the department offers access to one of the best facilities and equipment in the region (see our labs).
VISION
The Department’s vision is to be recognized as one of the top teaching and research petroleum engineering departments in Kurdistan and the region, identifying and responding to the current and contemporary issues in the field.
MISSION
The Department’s mission is to equip petroleum engineering students with the knowledge, skills, and capabilities, graduating job-ready petroleum engineers who are well recognized as active citizens and professionals in their communities, can lead and compete in an increasingly complex and competitive industry and job market, and who are sought-after practitioners in Kurdistan and the world.
JOB PROSPECTS
KNU graduates' knowledge and skills embody principles like effective communication, critical thinking and project management skills are central to most careers. The study of petroleum engineering courses and the practical program at KNU equips you with these skills and more, which will be translated readily into any work context. Apart from your knowledge of crude oil and natural gas, you will leave with the confidence and skills that come from successfully completing a demanding course and participating fully in university life. Nevertheless, the following areas are the popular career opportunity for a graduate from DPET, such as; - Reservoir engineer - Drilling engineer - Petroleum Production engineer - Well log (Analyst) engineer - Natural gas engineer - Petroleum exploration engineer - Petrochemical Engineer

Dear Students,
We would like to bring an important matter to your attention regarding the recent lectures conducted in the past two weeks.
Firstly, we want to emphasize that the lectures from the past two weeks will not be repeated in future classes. It is crucial for your academic progress that you have a strong understanding of the content covered during this period.
As we approach the upcoming exams, please be aware that the material from these past two weeks will be included in the examination. The questions on the exams will specifically focus on the content covered during these lectures. Therefore, it is imperative that you review and thoroughly understand the topics, concepts, and information discussed during this time frame.

Repeating Missed Lectures
Repeating Missed Lectures
In the context of a specialized department like petroleum engineering, it is often even more crucial for students to attend classes regularly. The field of petroleum engineering can be highly technical and practical, and missing lectures may result in a significant loss of essential knowledge and skills. Therefore, based on the decision of the departments we have strict attendance policies, which include no repetition of lectures for absent students.
