Bachelor of Oil and Gas Engineering
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Oil and Gas Engineering is a full honours programme delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London. Structured as a UK Level 6 honours qualification, typically 3 years full-time, the programme runs across 3 years and is aligned with UK further and higher education expectations for oil and gas engineering inside the petroleum engineering & upstream operations area. Study is available on-campus in London, online, or by distance learning, with the same weekly seminar structure and named programme-tutor support across every mode.
By the end of the Bachelor of Oil and Gas Engineering, you will be ready to enter a graduate scheme, join a specialist operator, service company or trading house, or continue to postgraduate study. The syllabus is built around well completions and subsea and offshore operations, using live scenarios from operator upstream functions, drilling contractors, service companies and subsea specialists to sharpen how you read data, brief stakeholders and act inside the operating rhythm of the sector. Assessment blends applied coursework with practical scenarios so your capability is evidenced, not only examined.

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, from process safety audits to reservoir models to well completions briefs. For the Bachelor of Oil and Gas Engineering specifically, that means direct exposure to London-based operator technical centres and short connectivity to Aberdeen and the North Sea for upstream field visits.
