Higher Diploma in Offshore Logistics Engineering | LSOGM | Harold International College of London

Course Overview

Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Higher Diploma in Offshore Logistics Engineering is a technician-to-graduate 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 5/6 articulation qualification, typically 12-18 months, the programme runs across 12-18 months and is aligned with UK further and higher education expectations for offshore logistics engineering inside the midstream, logistics & refining 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 Higher Diploma in Offshore Logistics Engineering, you will articulate into graduate-level UK practice and step into structured articulation into a UK Bachelor top-up in the discipline. The syllabus is built around petroleum logistics, petroleum logistics and adjacent topics such as terminal management, using live scenarios from refineries, LNG terminals, midstream pipeline operators, marine oil terminals, petrochemical plants and integrated supply chain teams 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 substantial taught content plus a capstone or workplace project so what you can do is evidenced through practice, not only examined through recall.

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 petroleum logistics, petroleum logistics and terminal management. For the Higher Diploma in Offshore Logistics Engineering specifically, that means short connectivity to UK refinery clusters, LNG import terminals and Aberdeen supply-chain hubs.
