Bachelor of Petroleum Facility Management
Course Overview
Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Bachelor of Petroleum Facility Management 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 petroleum facility management inside the midstream, logistics & refining 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 Petroleum Facility Management, 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 refinery operations, refinery operations and adjacent topics such as LNG handling, using live scenarios from refineries, LNG terminals, midstream pipeline operators, marine oil terminals, petrochemical plants and integrated supply chain teams 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.

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 across refinery operations, refinery operations and LNG handling. For the Bachelor of Petroleum Facility Management specifically, that means short connectivity to UK refinery clusters, LNG import terminals and Aberdeen supply-chain hubs.
