MSc Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

This one-year Master’s course gives you the skills to analyse complex issues in energy and the environment that are essential for a career in sustainability. Our emphasis is on the critical issues of energy transition and climate change that are transforming global economies. This highly interdisciplinary course provides rigorous training in energy and environmental economics, policy, and modelling, alongside a wide range of specialist options that allow you to deepen your expertise and follow your interests.

Entry Requirements

Normally a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (economics, economics-plus, a science or engineering subject) or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. A non-quantitative degree may, however, be considered, provided that aptitude is demonstrated for quantitative analysis, e.g. through some undergraduate modules, and/or through A levels or overseas equivalents. These requirements may be relaxed for students who can demonstrate considerable and relevant aptitude and experience, for example, in business or government. Please clearly state in your personal statement how your educational or employment background (including any internships or projects) relates to the programme and what you aim to achieve through your studies.
