There is an urgency for us to move away from a fossil-fuel based energy sector that emits a substantial amount of greenhouse gases that lead to global warming, and in turns climate change and rising sea levels. In order to deal with the complex and wicked climate change problem, a multi-disciplinary and more holistic approach is needed to address the gap in current energy education and training which tend to be single-disciplinary in nature.
The Master of Science (MSc) in Energy Systems programme is a unique combination of engineering and technology management to meet the current and near-future energy development in Singapore, Asia and worldwide. The programme will equip students with holistic and foundational knowledge in energy technology and innovation management, facilitate decision making in energy solutions and investment through quantitative and qualitative methods.
The education outcomes:
- Understanding of principles of energy technologies such as solar, hydrogen, carbon storage and utilization
- Benefit and cost analysis of energy technology investment and the impact of market-based mechanisms
- Comprehend the economic, legislature, politics and societal influence on energy use and its management
- Manage innovation and R&D in energy technologies
The job perspectives:
- Energy analysis and operation management
- Technology and innovation management in energy sector
- Investment analysis and decisions related to energy technologies
- Consulting and policy advisory
