Course Overview

The Bachelor of Petroleum Process Engineering is a UK Level 6 honours degree delivered over 3 years across on-campus, online and distance routes at the London School of Oil and Gas Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London. The programme concentrates on the process engineering of petroleum refining, gas processing and petrochemicals, and it is written in step with UK sector practice, professional-body standards including Energy Institute (EI) and Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), and live employer demand across the Midstream, Logistics & Refining space.

By graduation you will graduate ready to deliver a process engineering final-year project on a refining or gas-processing unit, and you will finish with evidenced capability that reads clearly on a UK CV, from written technical reports and case portfolios through to the applied artefacts that operators and consultancies expect from Bachelor-level candidates. Year one covers foundational modules, year two adds electives and a structured industry placement, and year three closes with a substantial capstone or dissertation reviewed by industry examiners. Begin your full honours degree with LSOGM.

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 trading briefs.

For Bachelor of Petroleum Process Engineering students specifically, LSOGM connects the taught syllabus to live UK sector practice: guest sessions with practising engineers, HSE specialists or energy economists as relevant, seminar readings drawn from operator technical papers, and applied exercises anchored in named UK basins, terminals and refining regions rather than generic textbook examples. Students who come from outside the UK receive additional English-for-technical-writing support and structured pastoral care through the international admissions team.
