BBA Energy Business Management — Bachelor at London School of Petroleum and Energy

BBA Energy Business Management


Course Overview

The BBA Energy Business Management is a Bachelor (BSc / BBA / BSc Hons) route delivered by the London School of Petroleum and Energy (LSPE), a specialist division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs across a duration band of 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) and is designed to develop full honours-level command of the business and management of energy companies at full honours degree level, from strategy through operations and commercial delivery. Content is aligned with recognised UK and international energy bodies, and reflects the way modern petroleum, energy and transition businesses actually work in practice.

By the end of the BBA Energy Business Management, students are able to speak the language of the petroleum & energy management function with confidence, apply structured tools to energy corporate strategy and business operations, and step into their next role or further study route with credible, industry-referenced study behind them. The BBA Energy Business Management sits inside LSPE's Petroleum & Energy Management portfolio and connects deliberately to adjacent programmes covering people and change management and commercial delivery, so students can move sideways or upward through the LSPE portfolio without losing continuity.
