Head of the Department Speech

Greetings… I welcome the honorable visitors to the website of the Petroleum Engineering Department at Al-Rifaq University for Applied Sciences and Humanities. The Department of Petroleum Engineering was established in the year 2004 in Tripoli, as the first department to offer the petroleum engineering specialization in private universities in Libya. Its establishment was a natural response to the urgent needs for petroleum engineers in a country that possesses a global oil reserves and is one of the most important exporters of crude oil in the world. Therefore, it expected that the oil industry in Libya would remain the main economic nerve on which the state depends, and it expected that the role of the oil industry would remain the largest contribution to the annual economic output. The department’s members cooperate to achieve its vision through the continuity of developing educational, research and training curricula and methods according to the requirements of the labor market, obtaining academic accreditation from the national center for quality assurance and accreditation of educational and training institutions, and attracting and developing faculty staff members with distinguished competencies, to ensure reaching the level that achieves the highest quality requirements in applied sciences and the provision of high-quality academic, training and research programs, to provide the labor market with engineers up to the standard that enable them to compete globally and are able to develop, occupy senior positions and pursue their higher studies. Thank you for your visit and I am happy to receive your inquiries, suggestions and comments on the e-mail below. .. .

1. The student’s title for studying in the department requires a general secondary certificate (scientific branch), or a specialized or something known, with the exception of the high school of life, and the priority for admission is for the higher or lower rates in the event that the advanced number exceeds the absorptive capacity of the department.

2. Pass the admission tests.

3. The student must not have been expelled from one of the Libyan universities for an academic or disciplinary dismissal.

4. The department, after the approval of the University Admission Council, may allow foreign students of Libyan nationality, in accordance with the conditions of the Ministry of Higher Education.

5. It is permissible to accept the admission of students registered in one of the engineering colleges in the Libyan universities or one of the other universities in accordance with the rules set by the University Council and other companies:

A. The student must have a high school diploma (scientific branch) or its equivalent, accompanied by the original documents of transcripts and the contents of the courses he studied.

B. The student should not be dismissed from the university he is transferring from.

C. The required documents are submitted to the department’s equivalency committee who have the authority to accept some or all of the courses studied in the department based on the admission regulations approved within the university.

D. The equivalent courses for the transfer student must be among the courses prescribed in the department, with the need to match the vocabulary and the passing degree in them should not be less than (60%).

E. The student undertakes to abide by the special program prepared for him by a faculty member (the mentor) in order to prepare him with the correct numbers that will enable him to be equal with the rest of his colleagues. Each student has the right to study "4" courses as a minimum and "8" courses as a maximum.

The number of graduation hours is 154 hours

Academic Program

Vision

Leadership and innovation in petroleum engineering sciences and employing the output of the scientific research in community service at national and international levels..
