Course summary

Climate change and environmental sustainability are global grand challenges that need urgent attention from all parts of society, in order to combat global warming and mitigate the impacts of pollution. Many sectors have significant skills gaps in areas involving energy systems, sustainability and decarbonisation. The aim of the course is to provide a foundation in energy systems, economics and the environment to support the global societal shift to net zero. This part-time, two-semester postgraduate certificate programme is tailored to equip qualified professionals (such as engineers, economists, accountants, architects, lawyers, scientists, and policymakers) with a thorough grasp of energy systems and policy, energy economics and management, environmental and energy efficiency, and renewable and sustainable generation. This knowledge is essential for driving the decarbonisation revolution over the next thirty years. The programme includes theory and practice along with techno-economics, current legal requirements and standards, and future policy. Those completing the programme will acquire the key technical and economic skills to actively contribute to the design, implementation and management of the net zero transition. This program is particularly appealing to individuals currently employed in sustainable energy and engineering, serving as ongoing professional training and expanding new job opportunities for graduates from other fields who need to upskill and transition into environmental sustainability. It is also ideal for professionals with significant experience in business, industry, enterprise, or policymaking who aspire to become leaders in energy systems, environmental sustainability, and decarbonisation.
