Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Energy Management

Students will examine oil and gas exploration and production, renewable energy production and the social and environmental impacts of these processes. Course content and assessments have been designed to help students develop both theoretical knowledge and understanding, as well as the practical skills to enhance their career and academic opportunities. Climate change, and the need to make energy sources as efficient as possible, is arguably one of the most important struggles faced by current generation. There has never been a more important time to understand energy. Energy Management is a varied and interesting topic to study, made extremely relevant by the growing importance of climate change. In year one students are introduced to the fundamentals of energy management. Students who choose to exit the course after successfully completing the first year will be eligible to receive a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Energy Management. During year two, emphasis shifts to the examination of conceptual themes and approaches present in energy systems management. Students can expect to adopt a more systematic, critical and individualised approach when considering competing explanations of change in the principle areas of the subject. Students who choose to exit the course after successfully completing the second year will be eligible to receive a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Energy Management. In the final year students will produce a plan for an individual research project which they will then implement by themselves. This activity seeks to develop vital transferable skills beyond the academic discipline such as personal organisation, sustained motivation and critical thinking. By successfully completing the final year, students will achieve a BSc (Hons) Energy Management.
