MSc Smart Energy and the Built Environment

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

To achieve net zero emissions a new relationship is required between how we produce, supply and consume energy: innovative smart energy technologies and services are crucial. UCL’s Smart Energy and the Built Environment MSc equips you with the skills and knowledge for a career at the forefront of the smart energy revolution. It focuses on integrating renewables, storage and smart control of demand to enable global decarbonisation, ensure resilience and security of supply and cut costs.

Entry Requirements

Normally a minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (for example physics or a related physical science, engineering, mathematics, geography, psychology, social science, architecture, planning or economics) or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required. Applicants with a different degree discipline but a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience are welcome to apply and will be assessed on an individual basis. Please clearly state in your personal statement how your educational or employment background (including any internships or projects) relates to the programme and what you aim to achieve through your studies.
