Course Overview

The Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance is a UK Master level programme delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London. Designed as research-informed senior practice culminating in a substantial dissertation or sponsor consulting project, the programme runs over a typical duration of 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time and is aligned with UK further and higher education standards recognised across the oil, gas and energy sector.

By graduation, you will be evidenced as a senior practitioner able to lead technical, commercial or HSE agendas in oil, gas and energy. Study focuses on energy economics, ESG and carbon accounting and regulatory compliance, calibrated to the City energy trading floors, London commodities markets and the Aberdeen to Grangemouth axis of UK operations. Cohorts are small, tutor visible and delivered on-campus in London, online and by distance learning, so the Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance fits around work, family and shift patterns common to the energy workforce.

Assessment on the Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance combines applied coursework, structured seminars, workplace-style case exercises and a summative project or portfolio. Curriculum design is reviewed each intake against employer input from the North Sea supply chain, the City energy trading floors, downstream operators at Grangemouth, Fawley and Stanlow, and the Aberdeen basin. Named tutors on the Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists rather than career academics, and the Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance is delivered in cohorts small enough for direct feedback.

The Master of Petroleum Corporate Finance curriculum recognises that oil, gas and energy operations now sit at the intersection of hydrocarbon delivery, energy transition, digital operations and evidenced governance.
