Program Description

Why you should study this course

• The global energy sector is changing, and the pace of change will increase as technology prices and policy support for clean energy solutions advance. This Renewable Energy Management MSc course has been designed to meet this challenge and features the very latest energy sector developments, ensuring students are well placed to take advantage of this fast-moving sector upon graduation.
• Given its importance, we devote a whole module to examining how we can model energy systems (supply and demand) so that strategic decisions can be made on technology options and future renewable energy roadmaps (e.g., how electric vehicles will fit into our future energy systems, which storage option/s to adopt, what approaches to space heating/cooling to explore, etc.).
• In an ever more interconnected world, renewable energy professionals must be able to analyse their stakeholders' expectations and tailor their engagement approaches to meet the demands of different audiences, be they clients, organisations, communities, policy makers or other consultants. Our module on ‘Stakeholder engagement and communication’ aims to help students develop this critical skill, which is increasingly necessary for a successful career in the energy sector upon graduation.
• The course is designed to have a strong international dimension, with emphasis placed on understanding the different approaches to energy provision based on climatic, social and economic conditions. Our current staff have international industry and academic experience, which in the past has attracted a truly global student cohort. We encourage discussion and investigation of the various technical, environmental and geopolitical challenges facing our global energy systems.
• Modules are specifically designed to equip you with the skills necessary to immediately access the burgeoning renewable energy jobs markets, whether it be feasibility studies for renewable energy systems, energy officer/auditor roles within commercial/government organisations, or analyst roles with companies involved in energy markets. Assignments are predominantly based on applied, real-world tasks. Supported by staff with industry experience, you are given the flexibility to determine your final dissertation topic thus providing the opportunity for a stepping-stone towards your preferred career path (please note staff may be subject to change).

Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to:

• Demonstrate a high-level understanding of the components that make up the global energy system, including energy sources, generation and integration technologies, supply chains, and end-uses (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling).
• Critically evaluate potential renewable energy and energy management projects, and subsequently support their planning, financing, management and operation within a changing energy market.
• Apply economic concepts, principles and tools to the energy sector, and understand how policy, standards, regulatory and legislative frameworks impact upon various factors within the energy sector.
• Understand the importance of and apply appropriate techniques in multi-stakeholder engagement, communication, and co-operation in aspects of policy, project implementation and management.
• Critically analyse the challenges and strategies (short-term and long-term) in transitioning towards decarbonised energy systems with focus on energy supply, efficiency/conservation, storage and disruptive technologies.
• Evaluate the issues and techniques involved in collecting, analysing and communicating energy data, and demonstrate research design and execution skills within renewable energy-related topics.
• Demonstrate personal skills and competencies expected of an energy sector professional, including operating within individual and team settings, including digital fluency and written, oral, visual, and numerical skills.
