Course Overview

The Bachelor of Upstream Oil and Gas Management is a uk level 6 honours qualification, typically 3 years full-time delivered across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. It focuses on the operational, engineering and commercial disciplines that run upstream oil and gas assets across exploration, drilling and production, taught in step with UK professional-body competencies used across Aberdeen and the North Sea upstream cluster, the UK Continental Shelf operator community, and international deepwater basins accessed through London.

By graduation, you will be coordinating asset-level dashboards, running project economics and holding a full UK BSc/BA-style honours degree in upstream oil and gas management. Weekly seminars, applied case work and a closing project ensure you finish with evidence that matches the expectations of UK operators, service firms and regulators working in oil, gas and energy.

Assessment is continuous. Every module of the Bachelor of Upstream Oil and Gas Management includes a scored applied task, brought into a written portfolio that admissions, external verifiers and prospective employers can review. The closing capstone or dissertation sits alongside this portfolio as evidence of independent capability in upstream oil and gas management.
