Energy MPhil/PhD

Overview

UCL Energy Institute brings together different perspectives and procedures in energy demand and systems research, transcending boundaries between academic disciplines. As these topics span science, engineering, economics and the social sciences, our methodologies, models and data are explicitly multidisciplinary.

A PhD indicates a highly qualified researcher, capable of independent analytic thought. It is a highly regarded qualification for those wishing to attain senior management positions in industry, consultancies and public sector organisations, and is essential for those interested in pursuing careers in academia. Our alumni have gone on to careers in academic teaching and research as well as consultancies, industry, government and policy organisations.

The UCL Energy Institute aims to train highly employable graduates who are equipped with the required analytical capability, research knowledge, management skills, and professional values to become leaders and entrepreneurs in their chosen field. Leadership, communication, teamwork, language and business skills are refined in the high-quality multidisciplinary research environment through our taught programmes, workshops, and internal and external seminars.
