New Executive Masters Leadership Programme for the Oil and Gas Industry
Managers in the oil and gas industry now have the opportunity to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge for a senior management role with the introduction of a unique executive masters leadership programme by the University of Dundee’s Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP).
The Executive Masters in Oil and Gas Leadership programme is the first of its kind for senior practising managers in the petroleum industry. It is focused on developing strategic management, organisational development and leadership skills, concentrating on key challenges and issues facing the commercial, community, governmental and political stakeholders.
This intellectually challenging academic programme, which takes a minimum of two years to complete, prepares participants for senior leadership or advisory roles relating to energy and natural resources in the private and public sector. Candidates have the choice of applying for a Executive Masters of Science, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate.
The programme comprises six modules, five of which are two five-day intensive learning events in international locations, interspersed with reflection, application, assignments and work-based projects. There is also a Project module which starts with a shorter learning event. Participants are offered a very flexible and personalised study plan to help them achieve their objectives. The faculty includes World Bank’s Senior Legal Counsel for Energy, Mark Moseley; former UN Inter-regional Adviser on Petroleum and Mineral Legislation, Professor Thomas Wälde; and economist Professor Paul Stevens.
Dr Ian Robson, Director of Executive Programmes, says, "This programme addresses the skill deficit challenges that the sector is currently facing at senior management levels. It is an exciting professional development opportunity to learn from a world-class faculty and to network with tomorrow’s captains of the energy and natural resources sectors."
The first learning event for the Executive Masters in Oil and Gas Leadership - Creating New Energy Infrastructure in Developing Countries: Policy Issues ad Legal Consideration - is led by Mark Moseley and takes place in Dubai from 22 to 26 June 2008, then in Edinburgh from 21 to 25 September. Participants may also choose to attend this as an individual course.
Applications are now being accepted for this Executive Masters programme. For more information or to apply, please email Dr Ian Robson at execpro@dundee.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1382386798.
