Course Overview
The MSc in Energy Enterprise Development is a specialist Master programme delivered by the London School of Petroleum and Energy over 12 to 18 months full postgraduate route. The route focuses on postgraduate executive practice combining energy enterprise development with strategic leadership, and is written against UK and international board-level and executive energy strategy standards referenced by IoD / CMI / WEC / AMBA. The programme is available across on-campus and online delivery for both UK-based and international applicants, and sits inside the LSPE articulation model that leads cleanly from Certificate through to Bachelor and Master's routes. Every module of the MSc in Energy Enterprise Development is anchored in current board-level and executive energy strategy practice, so the material remains directly relevant to how modern operators, traders, regulators and consultancies actually work today.
