Bachelor of Energy Engineering (Oil & Gas Focus)
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Energy Engineering (Oil & Gas Focus) is a UK Level 6 honours qualification delivered over 3 years full-time across on-campus, online and distance routes. The programme concentrates on an honours energy engineering degree that keeps oil and gas at the centre while covering the wider low-carbon transition, and it is written in step with SPE and IADC competency frameworks used across the UK energy sector. Applicants join weekly seminars run by practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists working in UK upstream engineering and operations functions across the North Sea, international basins and service firms.
By graduation, you will be producing well and completion designs, contributing to reservoir models and framing production forecasts for senior audiences. You finish with a final-year dissertation and modular coursework, reflecting a full honours degree with placement year, dissertation and credentialed exit, and ready to step into a UK honours degree with an industry placement year on the record. The Bachelor of Energy Engineering (Oil & Gas Focus) is calibrated to UK employer demand and reviewed each intake against sector signals from operators, service firms and professional bodies.
