Advanced Diploma in Global Energy Economics
Course Overview
The Advanced Diploma in Global Energy Economics is a UK Level 5 vocational qualification, typically 9-18 months. Delivered on-campus in central London, live online and by distance learning, the programme concentrates on the economics of the oil, gas and integrated energy sectors at senior-vocational level, and it is written in step with UK employer expectations across oil, gas and energy.
By graduation, you will be equipped to analyse market dynamics, price fundamentals and investment implications for energy assets. The programme is taught by practising engineers, HSE specialists, energy economists and industry leaders, with material drawn from live UK and international operator scenarios so the skills you build translate directly to a workplace context.
The Advanced Diploma in Global Energy Economics closes with a senior-track applied assignment set against a live operator scenario and reviewed by a practising subject-matter tutor, giving you evidenced capability to take into a UK operator, service firm or consultancy setting.
