The MSc in Energy, Society and Sustainability equips students with an understanding of how different societies can address the challenge of balancing energy with sustainability. It brings together a social, political, economic, and environmental understanding of low-carbon technologies. They will explore the risks, costs, and benefits of transitioning to low-carbon energy in a globalized world.

The program will equip students with a critical awareness of related local, regional and global debates and challenges, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the role of energy in development. They will benefit from The University of Edinburgh access to insightful case studies, as well as the organizations and communities their lecturers work closely with, from local Scottish islands to international corporations. These cases demonstrate global best practices and identify paths to sustainable energy management.
