There are many universities around the world, but only a few devote their activity to the formation and training of specialists for the petroleum and gas industry and out of these, just few can be as proud of their tradition and achievements as the Petroleum-Gas University is.

It is my pleasure to invite you to discover the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploieşti, a uniquely structured education institution in România, with an ample educational offer that we are proud of.

Founded in 1948, the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploieşti is the natural outcome of the exceptional experience and prestige acquired by the Romanian petroleum and gas specialists over the years, qualities which have become internationally acknowledged.

In an effort to combine a highly qualified teaching and research activity, providing a comfortable human environment for personal growth, development, self expression, greater learning abilities and demonstration of competence, our institution trains higher education specialists for the main branches of the petroleum industry and other fields of national interest.

Our university trains specialists in the main engineering fields. Owing to the excellent results of the teaching staff, including members of the Romanian Academy, university professors and specialists of national and international prestige, as well as to the support offered by the Romanian petroleum and gas industry, our university has trained a great number of higher education specialists, both from our country and from over ninety foreign countries.

The Petroleum-Gas University of Ploieşti does not train engineers only, but it also has a varied educational offer for the following fields: economic sciences, philology, fundamental sciences, and administrative sciences.
