Introduction This programme combines the disciplined study of economic principles with a deep understanding of the dynamic, constantly evolving energy industry. In the first semester, we’ll make sure you’re fully versed with the key micro and macroeconomic modelling techniques. And to make financial sense of the data, there’ll be time spent understanding the critical aspects of financial analysis. We’ll give you a thorough grounding in corporate finance and the statistical and quantitative methods used across economics and finance. You’ll also gain an in-depth understanding of energy and petroleum economics and explore issues like the Hotelling model and oil price behaviour, the role of OPEC and the issues of global warming and renewables in an economic context. Semester two will be where we ramp up your strategic thinking (game theory) using its concepts to demonstrate how businesses interact strategically, globally. We’ll help to develop your individual analytical skills and judgement surrounding energy industry investment decisions having to be made in an uncertain world. You’ll undertake a dissertation project from a range of possible key topics in the petroleum and energy industries. The programme incorporates significant input from the Energy industry. We bring together a range of visiting speakers from leading inames such as Wood MacKenzie and ConocoPhillips to discuss curriculum topics so you benefit from professional insights into contemporary issues.
