Course Overview

Delivered by the London School of Oil and Gas Management, the Master of Petroleum Infrastructure Development is a research-informed senior programme built inside Harold International College of London. Structured as a UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification, typically 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time, the programme runs across 1-2 years and is aligned with UK further and higher education expectations for petroleum infrastructure development inside the midstream, logistics & refining area. Study is available on-campus in London, online, or by distance learning, with the same weekly seminar structure and named programme-tutor support across every mode.

By the end of the Master of Petroleum Infrastructure Development, you will be ready to take a senior technical, commercial or governance track, brief boards, or continue to doctoral study. The syllabus is built around petrochemical process safety and terminal and marine logistics, using live scenarios from refineries, LNG terminals, pipeline operators, storage facilities and integrated logistics functions to sharpen how you read data, brief stakeholders and act inside the operating rhythm of the sector. Assessment blends applied coursework with practical scenarios so your capability is evidenced, not only examined.
