Gold Diploma Programmes
Maximise your learning experience by registering for The Oxford Princeton Programme's highly esteemed Diploma Programme. Offered on International Oil Supply, the programme is cost effective, well recognised and highly respected within the international oil industry.
To receive your diploma, you must successfully complete essay questions after each mandatory and elective course, along with an "open-book" examination once all programme courses are completed. Given the progressive complexity of these courses, you are provided a maximum of three years to complete the total number of courses and an additional three months for completion of the "open-book" examination.
If you have taken any of The Oxford Princeton Programme's Oil Supply and Trading courses over the past two years, ask us about completing the essay questions, and "open-book" examination if applicable, to earn accreditation toward your Diploma Programme.
