The future of Energy Studies
MSc courses in Sustainable Energy are available in various other universities including University of Edinburgh, University of Aberdeen, Swansea University, Queen Mary London, University of Calgary, Utrecht University and Cardiff - The Centre for Sustainable Energy – also offers educational programs.
So, in the context of the current market, how does a graduate degree in Sustainable Energy help? From market survey, it’s a proven fact that courses in these fields enable a graduate to take up jobs in traditional engineering companies, energy consultancies, government organisations focussing on quantitative analysis, NGOs involved with development work as well as the financial sector with the redeveloping energy infrastructure. Graduates from Utrecht University have had recruitments from energy and gas companies like Shell, NAM, Gasunie, Nuon, Essent as well as the public sector in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Environmentand NGOs such as Greenpeace and WWF. In fact graduates can also find placements in international bodies like the European Union and International Energy Agency.,
Nalin concludes, “There is a definite demand for people who are aware of sustainability issues and specially those that focus on energy. More so, in the context of the European carbon market, and this continent's relative push on energy futures.” And this is not only relevant to Europe but to every corner of the world including developing countries in Asia.
