Hi guys, I have been browsing this site for a few weeks and I am also in the process of applying for the MSc in oil and gas engineering at RGU. I am a chemical engineering graduate.

The issue I have is whether recruiters would value petroleum production over oil and gas engineering. The modules are identical in for the first semester, however there is only one module that one would study from the two courses. Finally there is the project in the final semester.

I am wondering whether companies visit RGU and interview their students for recruitment, and if, they value those with petroleum production MSc’s over those with oil and gas engineers.

I am also thinking of applying for Petroleum Engineering MSc at London South Bank University, a far, far inferior university to RGU. They do however have the modules that I would ideally like to study at RGU. Should I do this? What do you guys think?

I would be grateful for any feed back. Please help folks!
