TRANSCRIPT
Course Addendum: Changes to 2020/21 Teaching In Response to Covid-19 Whilst we hope to deliver as much activity on-campus as possible, the government’s guidance and social
distancing measures will inform how much teaching we can deliver face-to-face in the 2020/21 academic year.
Working to government guidelines we have adapted the delivery of our courses to a model of blending learning,
which consists of a mix of online and on-campus activities. We are equipped to move between blended learning
to fully online, or face–to–face, as the Covid-19 situation evolves.
The learning outcomes of your course remain the same but there are changes to its delivery, assessment and
structure, as set out in the Changes section of this document. The subsequent pages of this document contain
the original teaching and learning schedule of this course, for your reference.

September we are planning the following:
• Labs, workshops and small group tutorials will be delivered on site, where possible
• Lectures will be online, with remote alternatives, during the first semester, including live online
discussions/tutorials with lecturers and other students
• Support materials and lecture notes will be available on our virtual learning environment, Moodle
• Module teaching teams and personal tutors will be available throughout the semester via email and
virtual office hours
Importantly, we will ensure that we provide equivalent resources and support to students who are unable to
join us on campus for these sessions.
Your overall amount of contact will be the same as if it were delivered fully on campus.

Information on entry requirements should include:
- The standard requirement for admission is a 2.2 or higher first degree in engineering or a physical
science from a UK university, or equivalent degree from overseas. - Where entering with an engineering qualification, this must contain sufficient study of materials
and their properties to adequately prepare the entrant. - Specifically, a pure software engineering background would not give suitable cover of materials,
however other branches of engineering are in general acceptable. Entrants from a science route must, by their degree or otherwise, be sufficiently prepared for the mathematical content of the course.
- Applicants must also meet the University's standard requirement for English, i.e. IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 580 or equivalent.
- Exemption through accreditation of prior learning (APL), including Experiential learning, will be offered exceptionally where the applicant can clearly show that they will be able to meet the learning outcomes of the course. Such AP(E)L will be in accordance with current academic regulations.
G. Course structure(s) Course overview
- The MSc Petroleum engineering course is a postgraduate level oriented to fit the recruitment by the
industry, both exploration and operating companies. The master's graduate in petroleum engineering needs understanding of the physical and chemical sciences, the modelling techniques applicable to reservoirs, and the aspects of economics, sustainability and health and safety that govern oil and gas operations.
- The MSc course prepare students as engineer, so that the MSc graduate has experience in critically analysing problems and defining solutions where the data is limited and "right" answers are not available. The delivered of the program in full and part time mode is described as follow:

Appendix B: Personal Development Planning Personal Development Planning (PDP) is a structured process by which an individual reflects upon their own learning, performance and/or achievement and identifies ways in which they might improve themselves academically and more broadly. The module descriptors state in detail how achievement of module learning outcomes support PDP, as described under transferable skills and employability. The table below highlights the modules and outcomes with the strongest matches. All modules contribute to PDP outcomes number 1 (self-management, especially of learning) and 6 (employability).
Approach to PDP Level 7
1 Supporting the development and recognition of skills through the personal tutor system.
The personal tutor is the course director, students have regular access to staff through a program of drop in sessions during the program.
2 Supporting the development and recognition of skills in academic modules/modules.
All modules
3 Supporting the development and recognition of skills through purpose designed modules/modules.
EAB_7_156; EAB_7_157; EAB_7_158
4 Supporting the development and recognition of skills through research projects and dissertations work.
EAB_7_157; EAB_7_158
5 Supporting the development and recognition of career management skills.
EAB_7_158
6 Supporting the development and recognition of career management skills through work placements or work experience.
Students are encouraged to attend the conferences such as those organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; London Petrophysical Society and Energy Institute. Also, invited speakers will deliver presentations at LSBU on relevant and current topics in petroleum engineering. There is not work placement or work experience provided by the program, it is students’ responsibility to find placement and work experience.
7 Supporting the development of skills by recognising that they can be developed through extra curricula activities.
Access to teaching staff and support, for example through the different parts of the Centre for Learning Support and Development, results in effective self-development for the master's level student.
AQE October 2017 Page 10 of 13
8 Supporting the development of the skills and attitudes as a basis for continuing professional development.
All modules
9 Other approaches to personal development planning.
The Service for students at LSBU http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/clsd/ is central to the University’s mission to support the learning, personal and professional development of the university community. Students are encouraged to focus, prepare and plan for their future career as early as possible and throughout their time at university. The career and employability service team provides individual careers guidance, as well as a program of career management and employability workshops, including psychometric and personality testing and advice to students on how to market themselves effectively. This service also runs a job shop to help students find term-time and part-time employment, and offers advice on securing placements for those taking a sandwich year.
10 The means by which self- reflection, evaluation and planned development is supported e.g. electronic or paper-based learning log or diary.
