BSc in Petroleum Market Analysis
Course Overview
Structured over 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma), the BSc in Petroleum Market Analysis is an LSPE Bachelor honours degree programme aligned with recognised UK and international energy standards, delivered across both on-campus and online routes, and paced for working professionals and international students alike. The syllabus is anchored in carbon accounting, circular economy and wind, and referenced against the working practice profiled by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), so learners are not asked to work through abstract material but to engage with the vocabulary and evidence base used across the sector today.
Graduating students of the BSc in Petroleum Market Analysis carry a full honours-degree profile, a placement track record inside government energy departments, and an evidenced dissertation covering carbon accounting or circular economy in a chosen UK or international energy market, ready to enter graduate-scheme routes or continue to LSPE Master's study.
