Course Overview

The Bachelor of Oil and Gas Business Strategy is a UK Bachelor level programme delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London.

Assessment on the Bachelor of Oil and Gas Business Strategy combines applied coursework, structured seminars, workplace-style case exercises and a summative project or portfolio. Curriculum design is reviewed each intake against employer input from the North Sea supply chain, the City energy trading floors, downstream operators at Grangemouth, Fawley and Stanlow, and the Aberdeen basin. Named tutors on the Bachelor of Oil and Gas Business Strategy are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists rather than career academics, and the Bachelor of Oil and Gas Business Strategy is delivered in cohorts small enough for direct feedback.
