The MSc Energy Economics and Finance is an intellectually challenging programme that equips students with the analytical skills and industry knowledge needed to thrive in the energy sector.
The University of Aberdeen is a global leader in energy and economics education, with teaching and research excellence spanning decades. This programme builds on the University and the Business School’s expertise and incorporates valuable industry input through direct engagement with multinational corporations, government agencies, and professional practitioners.
With a renowned energy economist Professor Alexander Kemp OBE and other experts from the Business School actively teaching on the programme, our students learn from some of the global leaders in the energy economics field. The curriculum also incorporates real-world case studies, industry guest lectures, and dissertation opportunities with major energy firms and government bodies. This ensures our students develop the most relevant knowledge and skills needed to address the biggest challenges facing the sector today.
Our minimum entry requirement for this programme is an undergraduate degree at UK Honours level (or a degree from a non-UK institution which is judged by the University to be of equivalent worth).
If you’re a professional already working in the energy sector, this degree provides a strong route to career progression. Upon graduation, you will have the knowledge and skillset required to move into a variety of roles across the oil and gas, renewable energy, and related sectors. The transferable skills you will develop also mean you will be well-equipped for an economics or finance-related position in a variety of other sectors.
