Energy and Resources Management MSc /
UCL Australia's Energy and Resources
Management MSc is a two-year full-time
programme that provides students with a thorough
knowledge of sustainable management of energy
and natural resources. The programme covers both
theory and practice, with a focus on modern issues
faced by industry.
Degree summary The programme places particular emphasis on policy, strategy and
planning. Students develop a depth and breadth of technical and practical
skills, up-to-date energy and resources sector knowledge, and have the
opportunity to complete a unique and substantial research project with a
relevant industrial or governmental partner.

//
Our world-leading approach combines academic research with
hands-on industry experience. We are developing the management
talent that will help industry to meet their challenges, innovate and
prosper into the future.
Students benefit from leading academics with strong industry links
and industry professionals contributing to all taught courses. In
addition to the theoretical aspect of the studies and research project
field trips are organised to provide a real-world context to classroom
learning. Our close engagement with local and state government and
key energy and resources companies mean that our students are
able to network and learn from those in the industry.
This MSc binds together industrial knowledge and expertise in the
energy and resources sector. Graduates of the programme gain an
internationally-recognised Master's qualification from one of the
world's foremost universities.
The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials,
problem-based learning and workshops. Each taught course will be
assessed by a three-hour examination (60%) and coursework (40%). The
industry research project is assessed by a dissertation and supported by
an oral defence, whilst the short research projects are assessed by a
short dissertation and an oral defence.
Degree structure Mode: Full-time: 2 years; Part-time: 3-5 years
