Summary

Our innovative MSc teaches you key business skills and technical knowledge to play a key role in global efforts to tackle climate change and support the move to Net-Zero.

The MSc , which is delivered by specialist academics from both the Department of Engineering and the Business School, has been designed for graduates from an engineering or related background who are looking to develop practical and management skills in preparation for a career in the energy and environment sector. 

The core modules combine elements of business and engineering, covering areas such as business and engineering systems, renewable energy and the technical and practical requirements of vehicles of the future, as well as exploring entrepreneurship and professional skills development. You will also carry out a substantial piece of research of your choice, involving an in-depth investigation of an energy technology or issue. You will use your findings in the production of the Strategic Business and Engineering project.

The Net-Zero strategy, which is at the core of the programme, is of global importance and seeks to reduce the impact of human activity on the natural world. Our programme is designed to provide you with an understanding of the economic and environmental changes required in this move to Net-Zero and will equip you with the technical and strategic skills required to lead across a variety of roles in the energy sector in support of this goal.

The programme is the product of a collaboration between the Business School and the Department of Engineering, in conjunction with the Durham Energy Institute. It boasts strong links to industry including renowned guest speakers, real-world case studies and the practical content of the modules.
