Energy, Oil and Gas Management University of Nicosia

Overview

The proposed Energy, Oil and Gas Management programme from University of Nicosia is designed to have learning outcomes related to: knowledge, application of knowledge and understanding of the oil and gas technologies and the management of energy. 

Learning Outcomes

• Utilise knowledge and understanding on conventional business administration subjects such as general accounting, economics, management, marketing, business law and finance.

• Exhibit such skills that are required in negotiation, operations management, oil & gas accounting and project management for the energy sector.

• Critically evaluate basic science concepts and principles relating to physical geology, petroleum geology and energy technologies.

Career Prospects

It is expected with almost certainty that the discovery of oil and gas in the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone will prompt the establishment of new companies and operations with an increasing number of job opportunities. These jobs are expected to be in three related categories:

• Vocational workers such as mechanics, welders, plumbers, electricians specialised in the oil & gas and ancillary industries. This need can best be satisfied with technical/vocational programmes.

• Business managers and executives with a thorough understanding of the oil & gas and ancillary industries who can function and perform superbly in this emerging industry. This is the need which is being met with the present programme.

• More science-oriented technical staff who may be presently unemployed holders of degrees in chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, geology etc. who will attend a post-graduate programme and turn them into high-level technical/engineering staff for the various operational technologies and processes.
