Course Overview

The Master of Sustainable Energy Systems Management is a UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification delivered over 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time across on-campus, online and distance routes. The programme concentrates on managing sustainable energy systems that combine oil and gas with hydrogen, CCUS, renewables and demand-side change, and it is written in step with UK HSE and IEMA reporting frameworks used across the UK energy sector. Applicants join weekly seminars run by practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists working in oil and gas economics, HSE and sustainability functions across UK operators, service firms and advisory houses.

By graduation, you will be producing price and risk analyses, contributing to process safety cases and framing ESG reports for senior audiences. You finish with a substantial dissertation, capstone or sponsor consulting project, reflecting research-informed senior practice, with a dissertation or sponsor consulting piece as the closing artefact, and ready to step into a research-informed postgraduate qualification and dissertation on the record. The Master of Sustainable Energy Systems Management is calibrated to UK employer demand and reviewed each intake against sector signals from operators, service firms and professional bodies.
