Entry requirements

The MSc in Energy Policy provides a progression route both for technology-oriented students, such as engineering graduates seeking to develop business and policy perspectives, as well as students from non-technical backgrounds (e.g. from geography, economics etc.) seeking to move into energy-related careers. All applicants are considered individually on merit although we usually require a 2:1 honours degree.
