Course Overview

The MSc Energy Transition Management is a research-informed executive LSPE programme delivering a research-informed executive engagement with the operational, commercial and strategic management of the shift from legacy hydrocarbons to integrated future-energy portfolios, structured over 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route and aligned with recognised UK and international standards across petroleum, refining, LNG, offshore and reservoir operations. Modules are written by former petroleum, trading, renewables and executive practitioners, giving each part of the MSc Energy Transition Management a direct link to how integrated oil and gas majors, independent upstream operators, downstream refining businesses, LNG operators and national energy companies operate day to day.

By graduation, students on the MSc Energy Transition Management will lead, research and set strategy across petroleum, refining, LNG, offshore and reservoir operations, with practical evidence of structured study behind them and a clear articulation route into the next stage of the LSPE energy pathway. The programme places equal weight on subject expertise and on the professional habits that senior managers in integrated oil and gas majors, independent upstream operators, downstream refining businesses, LNG operators and national energy companies expect from graduates entering the sector, so the MSc Energy Transition Management produces candidates who can be trusted with real workstreams from an early point in their appointment.
