Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering | LSOGM | Harold International College of London

Course Overview

Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering is a full honours programme built inside Harold International College of London and calibrated to the working reality of the UK oil, gas and energy sector. Structured as a UK Level 6 honours qualification, typically 3 years, the programme runs across 3 years and is aligned with UK further and higher education expectations for energy systems engineering inside the midstream, logistics & refining area. Study is available on-campus in central London, online, or by distance learning, with the same weekly seminar structure, the same coursework schedule and the same named programme-tutor support across every mode of study.

By the end of the Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering, you will enter graduate-track roles with a full honours credential and step into progression into an LSOGM MSc, MEng or MBA-style Master programme. The syllabus is built around refinery operations, refinery operations and adjacent topics such as LNG handling, using live scenarios from refineries, LNG terminals, midstream pipeline operators, marine oil terminals, petrochemical plants and integrated supply chain teams to sharpen how you read data, brief stakeholders and act inside the operating rhythm of the sector. Every taught unit closes with a reflection task so you can trace your capability growth week by week, and assessment uses foundational modules, electives, a year-two industry placement and a final-year capstone or dissertation so what you can do is evidenced through practice, not only examined through recall.

Key Features

Workshops built around Concawe refining bulletins and IChemE process safety guidance for defensible technical judgement.
Weekly seminars in small, tutor-visible cohorts with named programme-tutor support.
Live-case briefs benchmarked against Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) frameworks.
Applied focus on refinery operations, refinery operations and current midstream, logistics & refining practice.
Syllabus aligned with Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) standards where relevant to energy systems engineering.
Structured articulation into progression into an LSOGM MSc, MEng or MBA-style Master programme.
Practical exposure to LNG boil-off management systems used across the midstream, logistics & refining sector.

What You Will Learn

Use LNG handling to structure clear, defensible recommendations for senior stakeholders.
Frame pipeline pigging exception logs inside stakeholder briefings and technical reports.
Interpret the refinery operations evidence base that underpins energy systems engineering decisions.
Read and act on Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) guidance relevant to energy systems engineering.
Deploy LNG boil-off management systems inside case-brief exercises drawn from live operator scenarios.
Work confidently with LNG boil-off management systems at full honours depth.
Apply refinery operations to sector scenarios inside the operating tempo employers expect.
Reflect on your own practice against UK bachelor-level standards.

The LSOGM careers service supports Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering students with CV, interview and portfolio guidance calibrated to refineries, LNG terminals, midstream pipeline operators, marine oil terminals, petrochemical plants and integrated supply chain teams. Sessions run across the study window rather than only at graduation, so applications, technical interviews and site-visit preparation are threaded through the programme timeline. Progression is treated as a design outcome of the Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering, not an afterthought.

Entry Requirements

112-128 UCAS points (or equivalent), including at least one science-related A-Level (or BTEC Extended Diploma at DMM or above).
GCSE English and Mathematics at grade 5/B (or equivalent).
IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for non-native English speakers.
Two references, normally academic; senior professional acceptable for mature applicants.
Personal statement covering your interest in oil, gas and energy careers.

Why Study at LSOGM

The London School of Oil and Gas Management is a specialist division of Harold International College of London teaching in small, tutor-visible cohorts. LSOGM sits within reach of the City's energy trading floors, the offshore expertise of Aberdeen and the North Sea, and one of the world's densest concentrations of oil, gas and energy sector employers, professional bodies and standards organisations.

Every intake, on-campus, online or by distance learning, joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support. Three parallel study modes make LSOGM programmes accessible around work, family or shift patterns in the energy sector. Curricula are reviewed annually against live employer demand, faculty are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists, and students leave with evidenced capability across refinery operations, refinery operations and LNG handling. For the Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering specifically, that means short connectivity to UK refinery clusters, LNG import terminals and Aberdeen supply-chain hubs.
