Overview

Professionally accredited by the Energy Institute*, the leading chartered professional body for the international energy industry, MSc Oil and Gas Management has been developed in collaboration with industry; with input from organisations and companies such as SPE International, Cuadrilla Resources Ltd, Petromall Ltd and Subsea Engineering News, who currently sit on our Industry Advisory Board.

Our extensive industry links mean that you could benefit from technical site visits (subject to availability, travel costs may be borne by the student), which have previously included the National Engineering Laboratory, Equinor (formerly Statoil), GE and Baker Hughes, as well as a range of free to attend expert guest lectures, which has previously included the former Vice President of British Petroleum.

The longest running of Coventry University’s degrees in the field of oil and gas, this MSc in Oil and Gas Management was designed specifically with the aim of building management capacity within the petroleum industry. We will show you the complexities of management within the extractive industry and provide you with the opportunity to gain a strong understanding of the interconnections between the different value chains within the oil and gas industry, to help to prepare you for careers with a wide range of potential employers, which could include national and multinational energy companies, consultancies, energy ministries and international agencies.

Course information

This course aims to provide you with an understanding of the processes, drivers, threats and opportunities related to the management of the energy and hydrocarbon industry in the 21st century. You should develop the competence to safely and effectively manage projects in the oil and gas industries within the context of increasingly stringent environmental and safety legislations.

We adopt a multidisciplinary approach, and all the mandatory modules incorporate various specialist areas, including petroleum contracts and economics, renewable energy, risk management and environmental management. The modules are focused on providing some of the essential skills needed in any profession, such as project management and quality control, marketing techniques, health and safety and professional development - consultancy.

You will have an opportunity to explore a subject area in more depth – for example, gaining an insight into the law of improbable incidents to help mitigate the risk of oil spills; oil trajectory analysis to help facilitate clean-up operations and develop a practical understanding of the basic energy derivative structures that are used in trading, marketing and risk management today; as well as the mechanisms and tools for both physical and financial petroleum trading and the workings of crude oil markets.

Career prospects

This course was developed to meet the demand for management professionals in the oil and gas industry, capable of demonstrating leadership, strategic thinking, managing risk and adding value to a business. As such, upon successful completion of the course, you should have access to a wide range of potential careers in the ‘downstream’ side of the sector, as planning managers, project managers, risk analysts and senior inspection managers.

This course is accredited and recognised by the following bodies: Energy Institute & Chartered Management Institute.
