Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management
Course Overview
The Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management is a uk level 7 postgraduate qualification, typically 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time delivered across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. It focuses on senior engineering and management practice for petroleum surface facilities, from wellhead through processing, utilities and export systems, 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 leading facility engineering studies, running integrity strategies and delivering a research-informed dissertation on petroleum facility engineering 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 Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering 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 petroleum facility engineering management.
Key Features
- UK Level 7 postgraduate credential mapped to IChemE, Energy Institute and APM competency areas
- Concawe references for refining and downstream facility standards
- Applied HSE UK process safety modules
- Research methods stream culminating in a substantial dissertation
- Named programme-tutor support across on-campus, online and distance cohorts
- Dissertation or sponsor consulting project on a real facility engineering scenario
Every intake of the Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management shares live seminar teaching, tutor-set reading and a structured assessment calendar. Online and distance cohorts join the same seminars as the London on-campus cohort, then extend the material through set applied work between sessions. Programme content is reviewed each intake against the UK oil, gas and energy employer community that recruits Master finishers.
What You Will Learn
- Lead facility engineering studies for onshore and offshore assets
- Coordinate process safety and asset integrity strategies
- Model utilities, hydrogen balance and heat integration for facilities
- Manage major project decision gates using APM standards
- Interpret HSE UK safety case and COMAH obligations
- Coordinate facility upgrade and revamp projects
- Apply research methods to a facility engineering question
- Communicate senior findings in UK operator and regulator briefings
Applied learning is at the centre of the Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management. Each module combines a taught foundation with a small applied task, then a scored assignment set against petroleum facility engineering management scenarios drawn from UK operator, service company and regulator practice. Feedback is written, structured and tied to programme-tutor sign-off.
Who This Course Is For

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 Thames-side refining and terminal corridor, Aberdeen and the North Sea, and the UK pipeline and LNG import network, giving students of the Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management programme direct exposure to the professional bodies, standards organisations and employer networks that recruit into petroleum facility engineering management.
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 the Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management accessible around work, family and shift patterns, curricula are reviewed annually against live employer demand, and faculty are practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists.
LSOGM cohorts are deliberately kept small so that programme tutors can see, name and support every student. The Master of Petroleum Facility Engineering Management brings that visibility to a UK Master credential taught in the same city and against the same standards as the UK petroleum facility engineering management employer base. Timetable, deadlines and assessment weightings are shared in writing on day one, and every student receives an individual careers-service touchpoint before graduation.
