Providing state of the art education for students is one of the key goals for ARCEx. Our motivation is to educate the experts for the next generation of petroleum exploration in the Arctic regions. Cooperation between key researchers from our academic and industrial partner organisations will ensure the best available expertise for educating future specialists.

ARCEx is training PhD fellows in a variety of disciplines, both within Basin Analysis, Petroleum Systems, Environmental Risk Management and Technology for Petroleum Exploration. Meet the ARCEx fellows here.

From Fall 2015, ARCEx and the Department of Geosciences at UiT The Arctic University of Norway launches a new Master’s specialization in Petroleum Geoscience. Read more about the Master’s specialization in Petroleum Geoscience here.

ARCEx will continuously develop new petroleum related courses, aiming at improving the petroleum related education. Read more about the multidisciplinary UNIS course developed by Jasmine Nahrgang and the New NPD taught course Management of Petroleum Resources.

If you have questions regarding education, please contact.
