A major key to addressing climate change is recognised as being the need for a world-wide change to carbon-free forms of energy production. Our ability to achieve this goal on an effective timescale is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the context of increasing energy demand as a result of ongoing population growth and development. The need for energy change is well-established yet there are relatively few people having an effective overview of the many factors involved in energy change or having the multi-disciplinary skills needed to effectively contribute to this complex issue.

The Master of Energy Change (Research) is a multi-disciplinary coursework and research degree which provides both a strong basis in the fundamental areas related to energy change as well as allowing the candidate to undertake advanced courses and research in areas of energy change suited to their individual interests and skills.

The Master of Energy Change (Research) degree is designed to meet the needs of professionals, equipping them to engage with the many challenges of energy change. The program brings together the wide-ranging expertise present at ANU so as to cover policy, legal, environmental and regulatory aspects of energy change, underpinned by a fundamental scientific and technical base.

Prerequisites

Students enrolled in the Master of Energy Change (Research) must maintain an average of at least 70% in 36 of the 48 units of the Coursework component to continue to the Research component. Students who have not met this requirement may opt to exit with a Masters by Coursework degree.
