The M.Sc. Petroleum Engineering and Project Development Programme is an International Collaborative Graduate Programme between IFP School, France and the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria and is sponsored by NNPC and TOTAL E & P Nigeria Limited Joint Venture. The Programme is run in the Institute of Petroleum Studies. The Institute offers a conducive learning environment, full Internet access and virtual library, hands-on training using one computer per student. Students use industry software, case studies and undertake numerous field visits. Students are encouraged to live and work together, thus encouraging the development of team spirit.

The students will be taught jointly by lecturers from the University of Port Harcourt (UniPort), Nigeria, IFP School, France as well as experts from the petroleum industry within and outside Nigeria. IPS graduates have more than 90% chance of getting employed in the oil and gas industry on graduation.
