Why this course
The MSc Economics & Policy of Energy & Climate Change aims to produce future leaders in the sectors of energy and climate change.
The course addresses the complex and increasingly more extreme challenges and uncertainties that industries, economies, governments and societies face. By the end of the programme, you'll be well equipped to understand these, and have the knowledge to adapt to this changing context.
You'll learn about the rapid changes within the global energy system and about the way in which this is impacted by climate change and by the efforts to mitigate its impacts. These changes include escalating energy demand, constraints on supplies, impacts on energy mix, introduction of smart grids, fluctuating energy prices, regulatory pressures to reduce carbon emissions and to promote sustainability, increased integration of renewable energy sources, and changing demographics and patterns of energy use and supply.
The course offers excellent opportunities to network with energy and climate change specialists from a broad range of organisations. We've designed the course to maximise the opportunities for industry engagement.
You'll also have the opportunity to take part in events organised by the Scottish Energy Forum.
The course covers areas of particular strengths of the Department of Economics, with a focus on energy and climate change. Through the Fraser of Allander Institute, the department also boasts research expertise in applying economic knowledge in the policy field.
- develop a strong understanding of key issues in environment and energy from policy and economic perspectives
- gain practical insight from leading energy and climate change experts
- benefit from applied teaching, which focuses on the development of transferable skills and applicable knowledge
- careers opportunities can range across the huge scope of applications that energy and climate change have in business
- suitable for those with a background in a broad range of disciplines
