Course Overview

The BSc Integrated Energy Systems is designed as a honours-level route into petroleum and energy management, running for 36 months full honours (top-up routes available) and centred on the integrated design and management of hybrid systems combining petroleum, power and renewables. The BSc Integrated Energy Systems is delivered on-campus and online through LSPE London, with modules mapped to Energy Institute (UK), Society of Petroleum Engineers, Institution of Chemical Engineers standards. Learners on the BSc Integrated Energy Systems join a cohort focused specifically on integrated energy systems, and modules are sequenced so that each new concept builds directly on what came before across the wider petroleum and energy management portfolio.

By graduation, students on the BSc Integrated Energy Systems can model hybrid energy systems, complete a dissertation and step into integrated-systems roles and speak the language of the modern petroleum and energy management sector. The programme balances structured teaching with applied projects, workshops and reading drawn from live petroleum and energy management case material, culminating in a research-informed dissertation or capstone project. The BSc Integrated Energy Systems also fits inside LSPE's articulation model, so students can progress cleanly from this honours route into the next LSPE qualification when they are ready to extend their integrated energy systems study.
