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 BSc in Energy Risk Management, students are able to speak the language of the executive energy leadership function with confidence, apply structured tools to energy risk fundamentals and commodity and portfolio risk, and step into their next role or further study route with credible, industry-referenced study behind them.
