Bachelor of Oil and Gas HSE Management


Course Overview

The Bachelor of Oil and Gas HSE Management 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 health, safety and environment (HSE) management across upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas assets, and it is written in step with Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) 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 leading HSE audits, chairing safety reviews and preparing regulatory submissions for UK and international operators, 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 Oil and Gas HSE Management 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.
