Throughout your studies you will develop the skills needed to address complex challenges within the energy industry such as land remediation and geoscience fundamentals, energy economics, management, and commercial law, enabling you to contribute meaningfully to one of the most urgent global transformations of our time. This programme is suitable for students from a variety of academic backgrounds who wish to take on different roles in the energy transition.
