MSc Renewable Energy Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years full-time with work placement, 2 years part-time

Course Description

The MSc Renewable Energy Management course has been designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and experience needed to access the growing renewable energy jobs markets and aims to help facilitate the global energy system transition.

The ways that we currently source and consume energy need to be transformed if we are to avoid the worst consequences of climate and ecosystem breakdown.

  • The challenge of transition is sizable. Some technological solutions do already exist, with the electricity sector transition well underway, and with wind, solar PV and electrification of heating and transport taking bold steps. Hydrogen, CCS and further energy efficiency improvements are also gaining prominence in the quest for a clean energy future. There should be plentiful career options post-graduation for those who master the wave of energy transition as it unfurls before us.
  • The Renewable Energy Management MSc course aims to support persons looking to begin careers that will contribute to the affordable, reliable and sustainable delivery of energy for all. You will have the opportunity to develop skills to appraise renewable energy projects and explore how to strengthen governance structures to accelerate the decarbonisation process – within communities, organisations and nationally.
  • You will have the option to apply for a ‘work placement’ opportunity, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See modules for more information.

Student Destinations

We are seeing extensive divestment in the various fossil fuel sector, which will require simultaneous investment in clean energy systems. This change is already taking place and will need to keep doing so at an increasing rate. Successful graduates from this course will be well positioned to take advantage of jobs in positions such as energy officers, consultants, analysts, advisors, R&D, NGOs and government energy agencies, as well as the many oil and gas corporations that are now turning their sights on decarbonisation.

Previous graduates from our School have gone on to work as energy officers in industry, local authorities, government agencies, universities and consultancies. Others have undertaken further study leading to a PhD.
