Overview

Key facts

The Renewable Energy and Environmental Finance programme offered by UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School will advance your understanding of finance theory and the application of sustainability factors (with a focus on environmental issues) to financial markets.

The course also features a strong low carbon energy component and aims to equip students with creative and analytical approaches to problem-solving in the sustainable finance context as well as enhance the students’ interpersonal and leadership skills.

The programme can be undertaken on a part-time basis, thus enabling current professionals with the relevant background to combine working life with study, however this is dependent on students’ employment commitments. Note that this is not a dedicated part-time programme and that students will be required to attend lectures, tutorials and complete group assignments in conjunction with the full-time cohort, for whom the schedule is primarily during working hours for a block of hours on several days a week.
