I dont know much bout postgrads scholar, but from what I know you can either:
1. use EPF to fund your study
2. ask your employee to fund for your study (my friend is WD did this with no bond)

hehe..no problem..thanks anyway for the info

yup. 3 of them are in 2nd sem and 1 of them is in 3rd (final) sem already.

i'm using my epf for funding

it's better if u go for full time since the fees are quite low compared to those who did for part time. my total fees are around 4k+ while part time are around 20k+. this is only for utm. i dont know about other uni. heheh

hehe..just trying to get some financial help so u r in which semester rite now? n what course?

Are you doing coursework or research?

p/s: better to optimize your EPF tho... coz some other people using other people's EPF money like it is their personal piggy bank.

i'm in my 3rd sem now. going to finish my study in 2 months time i'm doing msc in petroleum engineering in utm.

i'm doing coursework since it's much easier. basically the coursework is like a conversion course where most of us are from different background of engineering, not petroleum engineering. those are doing research are usually from petroleum engineering degree.

i'd prefer to spend my money on my education rather than spending it in some sort of unit trust funding. hahaha

wow congrats.. going to have that Msc in ur resume after this by the way do u have to do internship at the end of the course?

UTM offers such course to "convert" non-PE to PE? I didn't know that. I've asked about their M.Eng Electrical with Dr Syed - he is very nice and encouraging.

ahahah. don't congrats me yet since i still have 2 months to go with master's project and fdp project yet to complete. ermmm nop. we don't have any internship once finished the course.

imo, most of the msc in PE courses are also known as conversion course. the same goes to imperial college london's msc in PE.

Goodday everyone,

I'm from civil engineering background and I will be graduating in 2 months time. Studying Petroleum engineering was my dream in high school but somehow I end up in civil though

I have a few questions to ask.

1. What are the best career path for fresh grad like me who would like to venture into o&g? from what I read here, we should work in consultancy first e.g. technip, ranhill to gain experience? how about applying to clients such as petronas? the pay at consultants will be lower right?

2. How about companies that do ships conversions to FPSO, build oilrigs such as MMHE or KEPPEL singapore? Are they considered o&g?? Are those options good since I'm from structural background? I'm planning to apply for Keppel graduate engineer program. How about Jurong shipyard and Sembawang? Working in Sg and O&G are my goals since most of my classmates got a job there and we are just across the strait.

Thanks. I'll ask again if I have any qualms. btw, I'm having an interview with Murphy Oil tmr...I'm so nervous they'll ask technical stuffs about crude oil or offshore platforms...I only have a little idea about them since I'm from Civil Engineering. not much of people in my batch work for o&g though..mostly in construction..Thanks

^ How did you apply to Murphy Oil?

Petronas does offer postgrad scholarship,particularly for the Msc. Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geoscience (coursework and dissertation) both in UTP and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.You can see their advertisement in the papers every year.

owh really? don't know about that n thanks for the info!

I was invited for interview with exxon as well. How will the interview be like?

they came to my university...I'm selected to the next interview in KL..any idea's on how to prepare??

Got a phone call from them this afternoon for the interview. Have you guys receive the email from them?

May I know what position did you apply for ExxonMobil? Thank you.

Graduate engineer position.

I see. I did apply for graduate chemical engineer position. I guess my application is not successful since HR start to call applicant for interview. Currently I am in my final sem.
