The MSc Economics & Policy of Energy & Climate Change aims to produce future leaders in the sectors of energy and climate change.
The course addresses the complex and increasingly more extreme challenges and uncertainties that industries, economies, governments and societies face. By the end of the programme, you’ll be well equipped to understand these, and have the knowledge to adapt to this changing context.
You’ll learn about the rapid changes within the global energy system and about the way in which this is impacted by climate change and by the efforts to mitigate its impacts. These changes include escalating energy demand, constraints on supplies, impacts on energy mix, introduction of smart grids, fluctuating energy prices, regulatory pressures to reduce carbon emissions and to promote sustainability, increased integration of renewable energy sources, and changing demographics and patterns of energy use and supply.
An upper-second class Honours degree, or overseas equivalent. Applications are also welcome from candidates with significant high calibre industry or government experience.
