Course Overview

The Master of Petroleum Logistics and Supply Chain Management is an UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification at the London School of Oil and Gas Management, delivered across on-campus, online and distance learning routes over 1 to 2 years. The programme develops research-informed senior practice capability in petroleum logistics and supply chain management, with syllabus content aligned to Energy Institute (EI) and Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) frameworks and grounded in North Sea supply bases, international marine spreads and operator supply chain functions.

By the point of award, you will be closing with a dissertation, capstone or sponsor consulting project and stepping into senior technical, commercial or leadership roles. Every module builds toward evidenced competence in upstream logistics, marine and heavy-lift logistics and tender strategy, with practice-based assessment rather than examination-heavy coursework.
