Energy Management - Grangegorman

What is Energy Management?

The course has been planned in response to a need in industry for a master's degree programme that integrates energy, environmental issues and management. The programme will enhance the present and future effectiveness of managers, engineers and scientists by providing an opportunity to study the theory and practice of current developments, laws, standards, technologies, management, economics and finance, associated with European energy and environmental issues. Graduates of the course will be effective managers of environmental technology with an in-depth awareness of resource management under financial and environmental constraints.



The course is designed primarily for engineers, but will also be of interest to scientists , managers and multi-discipline professionals such as environment health officers, architects and planning officers.
