About this degree
Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment MSc is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a sustainability leader and innovator in business, policy-making or research. You will gain a deep understanding of different economic and policy approaches to the urgent environmental and resource problems that face our global community, with an emphasis on the critical issues of energy and climate change. You will learn how to apply a variety of interdisciplinary analytical methods to resolve these problems, applied to a broad range of practical contexts. This advanced degree programme will give you an in-depth understanding of:
- Environmental and resource economics
- Energy-economic models, methods and scenarios
- Environmental measurement, assessment and law
- Planetary economics and the political economy of energy and climate change
- Research concepts and methods to develop critical analysis and research skills
Who this course is for
This course is best suited for:
- Graduates with a background in economics looking to develop policy expertise in the areas of energy and the environment
- Science and engineering graduates who want to diversify skills into energy and environment
- Graduates with largely non-quantitative degrees, such as geography, politics or international relations, who can demonstrate an aptitude for quantitative analysis, and who wish to develop quantitative skills in economics
- Professionals with experience working in industry, consultancy, finance or public and third sectors looking to expand their skillset and learn the latest in energy and environmental economics and policy.
What this course will give you
The core of the course focusses on economics and policy, building specialist skills in quantitative analysis and critical thinking. In addition, UCL’s multi-disciplinary depth allows us to provide a range of disciplinary perspectives that complement this core knowledge, delivered through optional module choices. This gives you the opportunity to follow your own interests, whilst building a rounded and in-depth knowledge of global energy and environment issues. Depending on your optional module choices, you can choose to further your depth and breadth in quantitative economics and modelling skills, or diversify into policy, industry and social science perspectives.
