New technologies are driving dramatic transitions in energy systems for heat, electricity and transport. These future energy systems will have much lower carbon emissions, be more renewable, efficient, flexible and intelligent, and more geographically distributed. New Zealand’s 80% renewable electricity puts us at the forefront of these changes. Our unique programme aims to create energy professionals with the scientific knowledge, real world skills, and flexible problem solving to drive this transition in New Zealand and globally. You’ll gain valuable scientific and technical expertise, problem solving ability, business awareness and communication skills that can help industry or government to make the best energy choices and implement the right energy solutions. You’ll develop the skills and knowledge required to make a useful contribution towards the transition to a more renewable and sustainable energy system for New Zealand and the world.
