Future Perspectives
  • The Petroleum & Mining Engineering program is so designed to meet both the requirements of the petroleum and mining industry. For that reason the graduates of our department found fair work opportunities in those two industries. Amongst the work opportunities for the graduates of this department are:· Foreign oil companies and logistics oil and gas companies which are working in Iraq in general and in Kurdistan Region in particular.· Public oil sector within the ministry of oil in Iraq and the ministry of natural resources in Kurdistan Region including the different oil fields (reservoir engineering duties, oil well drilling operations, oil research and development institutions, oil refineries, asphalt industries, institutions working on preventing environmental pollutions due to oil industries).· The cement factories which are operating in the cement industry both in Iraq and in Kurdistan Region, whereby the graduates can work in the quarries which secure different raw materials for cement production.

    · Local companies which work on the winning of metalliferous and nonmetalliferous ore deposits and industrial rocks.

    · Local companies which work on the supply and processing of construction materials which are needed for the construction and road pavement industries.
