Society, industry and policymakers recognise that change is required at all levels if we are to address the challenge of climate change and sustainable development to meet the needs of future generations. At DMU, our Energy and Sustainable Development MSc reflects the knowledge and skills required by professionals working to achieve this.
You will develop an understanding of how we can achieve more sustainable development and decarbonisation through sustainable energy, more efficient production, and organisational change. You will learn from leading academics and specialists in the School of Engineering and Sustainable Development, and invited guest speakers.
You will graduate with the skills and knowledge to bring about change in companies, communities, organisations and government. This course is ideal for individuals with a social science, physical science or engineering background, or for mid-career professionals with relevant experience.
You should have the equivalent of a British Honours degree (2:2 minimum) in a relevant subject or five years’ work experience in an appropriate field.
We are happy to consider equivalent qualifications from anywhere in the world.
If you have no formal academic qualifications but do have extensive industry experience we will consider your application on an individual basis.
Our graduates go on to work in a wide range of energy, buildings and sustainability roles in energy and environmental consultancies, non-governmental environmental organisations, central and local government (including the European Commission), and multi-national organisations. Some of our graduates stay on at DMU to continue their academic training with PhD studies.
