GSM London is a leader in Oil and Gas Management programmes and was one of the first to offer a dedicated MSc in this discipline.

The MSc Oil and Gas Management will develop you into an informed extractive manager, able to understand and interpret the effects of policy changes, trade laws and global economics on the industry.

You will learn about economic theory and how it affects the operation of extractive businesses, as well as project management processes, marketing techniques, and human resource management.

This programme is highly interactive, with a strong emphasis on the free flow of knowledge and ideas between students, lecturers and industry professionals.
