Overview

To combat climate change and deliver the transition to zero carbon, we must transform how we generate and use energy. Smart energy has the power to reduce costs, increase reliability and support decarbonisation.

The Smart Energy and the Built Environment programme from UCL focuses on how renewable energy resources can be integrated with the built environment to enable global transformation, ensuring resilience and security of supply and controlling costs. There is a worldwide demand for specialists with deep expertise in this field, whether in business, policy or consultancy.

Employability

This energy master’s has been developed with employability as a key priority, focusing on skills relevant in the sector. It addresses both technical and transferable skills, including statistics and data analysis, modelling, communication skills, critical thinking and social sciences.

You will be encouraged to develop your own solutions to energy problems through both individual assignments and group work, collaborating with peers.

The research-based curriculum also teaches you how to undertake independent research, identify research questions and design a research programme to answer them, but also how to gather, organise and analyse evidence effectively, strengthening both your critical and your creative thinking skills.
