MSc
Summary
Join an online MSc that’s training the next generation of systems engineers. Help our planet transition from oil and gas to net-zero, with a degree you can study online, flexibly.
**Join the first online energy transition degree of its kind in the UK.** Prepare for an engineering career in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables.
Energy transitions require technical, economic, and social solutions to the complex challenges of decarbonisation. In this online MSc in Energy Transition, you’ll develop a detailed understanding of these diverse challenges. You’ll learn how we can integrate Low Carbon Technologies (LCTs) into current and future energy systems. With guidance from University of Aberdeen academics, engineers, and industry professionals, you’ll gain in-depth technical knowledge of LCTs, including:
- wind
- tidal
- solar
- hydrogen
- and biomass.
**More than engineering skills**
You’ll also study the non-technical aspects that all engineers in this field need to address, covering the economics and politics of the energy transition. You’ll take a systems-thinking approach to energy transition, to understand complex, interconnected, and increasingly digitalised energy systems. You’ll train in a range of relevant methods for system-level analysis, including Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Energy System Analysis (ESA). And you’ll learn to use technical, economic and environmental analysis tools to assess and compare different technologies.
**Who can join online MSc Energy Transition?**
This distance-learning degree is open to BSc and BEng engineering graduates, as well as graduates of other related disciplines in the physical sciences, natural sciences and mathematics.
You can learn online with us anywhere in the world, no student visa required.
