Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems is a 3 years programme a UK Level 6 honours degree with an integrated industry placement year, focused on the engineering and operations of petroleum transportation systems covering pipelines, rail, marine and road transport of hydrocarbons. Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems centres on pipeline systems, refining, LNG, terminals, marine oil movement and integrated supply chain across the midstream and downstream, with weekly seminars, applied casework and a formal assessment portfolio.
By graduation, Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems students are designing transportation flow sheets, running route and mode selection studies and coordinating multi-modal petroleum transport at honours level, and leave with honours-level petroleum transportation systems capability. The honours degree runs primarily on-campus in London with a supported blended-online route and a structured distance-learning route for international applicants unable to travel.
Every module on the Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems is delivered in weekly seminars supported by directed reading, structured formative tasks and a final summative assessment that is judged against employer-facing criteria. The Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems timetable interleaves technical content with commercial context so that graduates carry both the operational vocabulary of oil, gas and energy work and the strategic vocabulary needed to move into wider industry roles. Practitioner guest sessions are woven into the calendar so that students meet working engineers, HSE specialists, traders and energy managers throughout the Bachelor of Petroleum Transportation Systems.
