Our MSc GeoEnergy enables you to pursue a geosciences-related career in the rapidly evolving energy sector, as it transitions from fossil fuels to a net-zero future.
Your training aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, especially:
The programme uses subsurface geological knowledge to open diverse career paths in low-carbon energy technologies, the disposal of energy-related wastes and the evolving hydrocarbon industry.
You will learn about various ways to reduce CO2 emissions from the energy sector to help meet net-zero targets to tackle climate change. For example, you will learn about methods such as carbon capture and storage, along with energy storage technologies that complement renewable energy provision.
We have specifically designed this MSc to explore a wide range of energy topics, giving you opportunities for a varied career path.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a science or engineering subject. We will also take any relevant professional experience into account.
We may also consider your application if your background is not specifically related to these disciplines provided you have relevant work experience in a related area.
