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.
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.

This energy master’s has been developed with employability as a key priority, focusing on skills relevant in the sector. We address both technical and transferable skills, including statistics and data analysis, modelling, communication skills, critical thinking, using GenAI and social sciences. You are encouraged to develop your own solutions to energy problems through both individual assignments and group work, collaborating with peers. Our 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.
