Smart Energy and the Built Environment MSc

UCL (University College London)

To achieve net zero emissions a new relationship is required between how we produce, supply and consume energy: innovative smart energy technologies and services are crucial. UCL’s Smart Energy and the Built Environment MSc equips you with the skills and knowledge for a career at the forefront of the smart energy revolution. It focuses on integrating renewables, storage and smart control of demand to enable global decarbonisation, ensure resilience and security of supply and cut costs. To combat climate change and deliver the transition to zero carbon, we must transform how we generate and use energy. Smart energy has the power to reduce costs, increase reliability and support decarbonisation. With significant global investment into smart energy, a new generation of experts are needed to drive the transition. UCL’s Smart Energy and the Built Environment MSc equips you with an in-depth understanding of energy supply and demand, its smart, flexible operation, and the role of the built environment. Our cutting-edge content and multidisciplinary approach aims to enable students both with and without expertise in energy and buildings to learn and develop the key skills to work in this sector. This degree is suited both to recent graduates and early- or mid-career professionals looking to expand their skills and knowledge. Energy and the built environment is a multidisciplinary field, and students from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Prior study of the sector is not required. Suitable academic backgrounds include (but are not limited to) physics and related physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, geography, psychology, social science, architecture, planning and economics.
