Course Overview

Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Bachelor of Global Petroleum Studies 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 global petroleum studies inside the energy leadership & strategic management 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 Global Petroleum Studies, 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 portfolio strategy, portfolio strategy and adjacent topics such as operations leadership, using live scenarios from integrated energy operators, oil and gas majors, energy consultancies, private-equity backed portfolio holders and public-sector energy bodies 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.
