BSc Energy Innovation Management
Course Overview
The BSc Energy Innovation Management at the London School of Petroleum and Energy (LSPE) is a bachelor (bsc / bba / bsc hons) programme delivered over 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma). It develops full honours-level foundations of energy innovation management, from technology scouting to portfolio deployment, drawing on the Energy Institute (UK), Society of Petroleum Engineers, Institution of Chemical Engineers, OGUK/Offshore Energies UK and the International Energy Agency to shape a UK and internationally referenced curriculum. Study is available across on-campus and online routes so that professionals in employment and international applicants can complete the BSc Energy Innovation Management without relocating for the whole programme.
By the end of the BSc Energy Innovation Management, students are building the applied capability needed to move confidently into integrated oil and gas majors, independent upstream operators, downstream refining businesses, LNG operators, midstream infrastructure companies and energy consultancies across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The programme sits inside the Petroleum and Energy Management department at LSPE and articulates cleanly into the next level of study, so learners who progress through the LSPE ladder arrive at postgraduate work with structured evidence of subject exposure.
Content is written to build full honours vocabulary bringing strategic thinking, quantitative modelling and dissertation-level rigour to the subject, with tutors framing the BSc Energy Innovation Management around the practical decisions taken every day inside upstream exploration, drilling and reservoir operations, downstream refining, midstream terminals and LNG, and integrated energy infrastructure. Assessment is designed to translate directly into work-ready deliverables that graduates can point to in interviews and portfolios.
