Bachelor of Gas Processing Engineering
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Gas Processing Engineering is a three-year UK Level 6 honours degree with a year-two industry placement, delivered across on-campus, online and distance routes. The programme concentrates on gas processing engineering across dehydration, sweetening, NGL fractionation and LNG train operations, and it is written in step with Energy Institute (EI), Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), European Petroleum Refiners Association (Concawe) competency areas familiar to UK operators, contractors and service companies working across the North Sea, wider Europe, the Middle East, West Africa and the Americas.
By graduation you will be designing gas processing units, running plant performance reviews and preparing engineering handovers for gas processing facilities, ready to take on full UK honours training with a year-two industry placement and final-year capstone. You will finish with a capstone or portfolio project rooted in a real oil, gas and energy scenario, and you will leave with UK-format written and oral communication drilled through every module. The Bachelor of Gas Processing Engineering is calibrated for both first-career applicants and returning professionals, with dedicated tutor support inside every cohort.
On-campus cohorts follow a standard three-year full-time schedule at the LSOGM London base, live online cohorts join the same seminars via a scheduled video room, and distance-learning cohorts follow the same materials asynchronously with weekly tutor check-ins. Assessment blends written coursework, applied projects, a year-two industry placement, formal exams and a final-year capstone or dissertation, graded against UK Level 6 outcome descriptors.

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.
Every intake, on-campus, online or distance learning, joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support. Three parallel study modes keep the programme accessible around shift patterns and travel commitments in the energy sector. Curricula are reviewed annually against live employer demand, and faculty are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists.
The Bachelor of Gas Processing Engineering sits inside a broader LSOGM curriculum ladder, so finishers can articulate cleanly into the next LSOGM programme where relevant. Every cohort is small enough for tutors to know every candidate by name, and every module is reviewed annually against employer demand across upstream, midstream, downstream and energy transition activity.
