Energy Systems and Data Analytics MSc

The Energy Systems and Data Analytics MSc provides an academically leading and industrially relevant study of energy systems through the lens of data analytics. Advanced analytics, fuelled by big data and massive computational power, has the potential to transform how energy systems are designed, operated and maintained. You will gain the skills and knowledge to unlock the transformative potential of big energy data, and understand how it can reshape the energy sector. You will gain a broad understanding of energy systems as a whole, covering supply and demand, the interconnectedness and dependencies between different sectors and a multi-vector multi-sector approach to analysis. You will learn about the theory and practice of data analysis, deploying machine learning and statistics and will gain practical experience of the challenges of working with different data sets relating to energy throughout the programme and modules.

Graduates will be ideally placed to gain employment as energy analysts/data scientists in consultancies, utilities, innovative start-ups and government institutions which value expertise in energy systems and have a need for data literate analysts.

There is a strong emphasis placed on innovation throughout the programme. Students will also benefit from a skill set in data analytics that will be highly transferable and applicable across a range of industries and domains.The programme has been developed with input from industry leaders. You will gain exposure to real life energy and sustainability challenges.

This degree is also available as a PG Diploma and a PG Certificate with fees set accordingly.
