This is a significant milestone for UTP as its Petroleum Geoscience undergraduate programme is proven to have quality and standard comparable to other leading universities in UK, Ireland and overseas, such as University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, University of Aberdeen, Cardiff University, National University of Ireland and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.
The accreditation provides added assurance to prospective students that the petroleum geoscience degree programme offered at UTP is of the highest quality and has been approved by an independent body consisting of academics and industrialists.
A graduate taking an accredited undergraduate programme will be gaining experience and insights directly relevant to achieve the Chartered Geologist or Scientist (CGeol/CSci) status.
