Bachelor of Reservoir Simulation and Modeling
Course Overview
Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Bachelor of Reservoir Simulation and Modeling 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 reservoir simulation and modeling inside the petroleum engineering & upstream operations 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 Reservoir Simulation and Modeling, 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 petrophysics, petrophysics and adjacent topics such as field development, 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. 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.
Key Features
- Practical exposure to petrophysical log interpretation packages used across the petroleum engineering & upstream operations sector.
- Careers-service link into operator upstream functions, drilling contractors, service companies and subsea specialists across the UK and international markets.
- Structured articulation into progression into an LSOGM MSc, MEng or MBA-style Master programme.
- Live-case briefs benchmarked against Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) frameworks.
- Applied focus on petrophysics, petrophysics and current petroleum engineering & upstream operations practice.
- Weekly seminars in small, tutor-visible cohorts with named programme-tutor support.
- UK Level 6 honours qualification, typically 3 years, running 3 years across on-campus, online and distance-learning modes.
What You Will Learn
- Build formation-pressure management logs that survive scrutiny from technical and commercial reviewers.
- Apply petrophysics to sector scenarios inside the operating tempo employers expect.

The LSOGM careers service supports Bachelor of Reservoir Simulation and Modeling students with CV, interview and portfolio guidance calibrated to operator upstream functions, drilling contractors, service companies and subsea specialists. Sessions run across the study window rather than only at graduation, so applications, technical interviews and site-visit preparation are threaded through the programme timeline. Progression is treated as a design outcome of the Bachelor of Reservoir Simulation and Modeling, not an afterthought.
Entry Requirements
- 112-128 UCAS points (or equivalent), including at least one science-related A-Level (or BTEC Extended Diploma at DMM or above).
- GCSE English and Mathematics at grade 5/B (or equivalent).
- IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for non-native English speakers.
- Two references, normally academic; senior professional acceptable for mature applicants.
- Personal statement covering your interest in oil, gas and energy careers.
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 petrophysics, petrophysics and field development. For the Bachelor of Reservoir Simulation and Modeling specifically, that means short connectivity to Aberdeen and the North Sea for upstream field visits.
