Energy comes in many forms. Its availability in the landscape such as coal, wind or the sun, must be transformed into electricity. It is then carried in pipes and grids to where it is needed, in order to power our everyday lives.

All this takes materials and has an economic, environmental and human cost. Yet, energy is essential to everyday human life and at the heart of sustainability. To address global climate change, the world needs a fast but fair transition to a low-carbon society.

The MSc in Energy, Society and Sustainability equips you with an understanding of how different societies can address the challenge of balancing energy with sustainability. It brings together a social, political, economic, and environmental understanding of low-carbon technologies.

You will explore the risks, costs, and benefits of transitioning to low-carbon energy in a globalised world.
