Overview

GeoEnergy encompasses the entire range of energy technologies and sources that interact with the geological subsurface. This includes both established energy technologies, such as hydrocarbons, and developing areas, such as geothermal energy production and the storage of radioactive waste.

These technologies require either injection, extraction or interaction with fluids from the subsurface, which are subject to fundamental geological controls. Understanding these controls is essential for the responsible and safe utilisation of these energy-related technologies for a low-carbon future.

Career opportunities

The GeoEnergy programme from The University of Edinburgh will allow you to apply subsurface geological knowledge to a diverse range of career paths in low-carbon energy technologies, the disposal of energy-related wastes and the evolving hydrocarbon industry. We have specifically designed this MSc to explore a wide range of energy topics, giving you opportunities for a varied career path.

The expertise gained on this programme will enable you to pursue a career in many energy-related areas, including:

energy companies

energy sector consultancies

civil engineering companies

environmental regulators

environmental consultants

local or national government agencies

national research laboratories

non-governmental organisations
