About University of Brigant
Historic UK university (founded 1883) with Edinburgh campus and tuition-free online degrees.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MSc Energy Transition and Project Economics is for people who already sit next to spreadsheets that decide whether a Scottish wind, heat, or decommissioning package survives contact with the grid and the bank. Taught from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin, it treats Contracts for Difference, constraint payments, and community-benefit narratives as project-economics problems, not as a generic ‘renewables MBA’. You will model cashflows under UK policy risk, read a grid-connection queue without pretending to be a power-systems engineer, and write an investment note a director on the Forth can table. Assessment standards are identical on campus and online. The award is academic: it is not CEng and it does not license you to stamp drawings.
Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
**Award:** University of Brigant **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
