The Energy Systems and Data Analytics MSc provides an academically leading and industrially relevant study of energy systems through the lens of data analytics. Advanced analytics, fuelled by big data and massive computational power, has the potential to transform how energy systems are designed, operated and maintained. You will gain the skills and knowledge to unlock the transformative potential of big energy data, and understand how it can reshape the energy sector. You will gain a broad understanding of energy systems as a whole, covering supply and demand, the interconnectedness and dependencies between different sectors and a multi-vector multi-sector approach to analysis. You will learn about the theory and practice of data analysis and will gain practical experience of the challenges of working with different data sets relating to energy throughout the programme and modules. The MSc in Energy Systems and Data Analytics is the first programme in the UK to combine the study of energy systems with data science. The MSc is delivered by leading researchers in the UCL Energy Institute and UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources. You will benefit from their specific expertise, research communities and industry contacts (including guest lecturers drawn from the energy industry), as well as our multidisciplinary and cross-domain approach. The UCL Energy Institute has consulted across industry to identify key skills gaps for the energy analysts that will be required by utilities, consultancies and small and medium enterprises. There is a growing need in industry for graduates who combine an understanding of energy systems with the skills and abilities to extract insights from data through the use of advanced analytics. Graduates of the ESDA MSc will be ideally placed to gain employment as energy analysts/ data scientists in consultancies, utilities, innovative start-ups and government institutions which value expertise in energy systems and have a need for data literate analysts. This degree is also available as a PG Diploma and a PG Certificate with fees set accordingly. Students will take this course in flexible study mode also.
