Diploma in Energy Supply Chain Management


Course Overview

The Diploma in Energy Supply Chain Management is a uk level 4 vocational qualification, typically 6-12 months delivered across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. It focuses on end-to-end movement of hydrocarbons, chemicals and services across upstream contractors, terminals, refineries and end markets, taught in step with UK professional-body competencies used across the Thames-side refining and terminal corridor, Aberdeen and the North Sea, and the UK pipeline and LNG import network.

By graduation, you will be planning procurement calendars, running vendor scorecards, and coordinating tanker, pipeline and rail movements across an integrated energy supply chain. 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 Diploma in Energy Supply Chain 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 energy supply chain management.
