Students at selected universities in 14 countries ranging from the UK and Central Europe through to the Middle East can apply via the UPPP online simulation game from 1st to 23rd October 2014. The top three teams will then get the opportunity to join MOL Group and start their careers through the 18-month “UPPP Technical Placement Program” as well as being in with a chance of winning up to €20,000.

"We are proud of our new UPPP Program, that offers qualified top talent the opportunity to join MOL Group’s Upstream division. UPPP is dedicated to those students who are open to real-life challenges and dare to enter an exciting challenge", said Zdravka Demeter Bubalo, HR Vice President of MOL Group.

There are two rounds to the game and students must be in teams of three to apply. The first round is an online simulation game where participants have to solve industrial and strategic challenges in virtual scenarios. The tasks involve case studies taken from real situations within MOL Group’s E&P portfolio. The second round is the live final.
