Course Overview

The Master of Energy Business Strategy and Management is a UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification delivered over 1-2 years across on-campus, online and distance routes at the London School of Oil and Gas Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London. The programme concentrates on strategy and management of energy businesses across the value chain, and it is written in step with UK sector practice, professional-body standards including Energy Institute (EI) and International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), and live employer demand across the Energy Economics, Finance & HSE space.

By graduation you will graduate ready to produce a business strategy dissertation for a case energy firm, and you will finish with evidenced capability that reads clearly on a UK CV, from written technical reports and case portfolios through to the applied artefacts that operators and consultancies expect from Master-level candidates. The taught element runs alongside a substantial research or consulting dissertation, with structured supervisor meetings, peer defence sessions and industry review panels.
