Offered by University of Regina in Regina, Canada, MA/MS in Petroleum Systems Engineering is a master's degree in Mining & Oil Engineering programme. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 366 per credit (CAD 366 per credit for local students).
This is a Master's program in Petroleum Systems Engineering offered through the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, available as a thesis-based Master of Applied Science (30 credit hours, about two years), a project-based Master of Engineering (30 credit hours, about two years), or co-op versions of either that extend the program to roughly two years and eight months with 38 credit hours. Research and coursework focus on enhanced oil recovery, heavy oil recovery through SAGD and VAPEX processes, and underground storage of carbon dioxide, with advanced courses in reservoir fluid analysis, geostatistics, surface thermodynamics, and fluid flow in porous media. The program includes field trips and presentations, access to specialized laboratory equipment, and internship opportunities such as the PTRC HORNET program, which involves Mitacs funding. It suits engineering graduates aiming for research or technical roles in oil recovery and energy systems rather than a purely academic path. Described career destinations for graduates include exploration engineer, reservoir engineer, production engineer, and research engineer, with the page naming employers such as ExxonMobil, Shell, and Imperial Oil.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The petroleum systems engineering graduate page states nothing about admission criteria itself, so this follows the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research's general graduate rules: a four-year bachelor's degree (or recognised equivalent) with acceptable academic standing and sufficient undergraduate background in the field, and a graduating average of at least 70%, since engineering is not among the programs requiring a 75% average. Applicants with international credentials must complete a WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation of their transcripts, unless applying to the Electronic Systems or Industrial Systems Engineering master's/PhD programs specifically. International applicants must also meet English proficiency under the general FGSR table: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 70, or Duolingo 125 overall (115 minimum on any section).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
