Introduction
Rising energy demand is at odds with the threat of fast depleting energy resources—demanding energy providers to engage a strategic approach to energy management. Amid intensifying scrutiny over costs, carbon output and sustainability, the oil, gas and energy industry requires a resourceful talent pool of energy management professionals to navigate global challenges in support of UN's Sustainable Development Goals. In response to the global forces at work, Master of Business Administration in Energy Management (MBA-EM) prepares students to pivot to new technologies and drive towards a model that supports future-looking strategies. As such, the programme exposes students to a wide array of real industry challenges and case studies. In addition to lectures, the programme offers multi-sided learning approaches such as seminars and consultancy based projects. Ultimately, by leveraging the latest energy management knowledge and trends, students are poised to play a critical role in the design of the industry's carbon-neutral future. The MBA-EM programme runs for 5 trimesters, 47 credit hours, 20 months with a comprehensive curriculum design. The programme delivered via conventional face-to-face method, comprises Business Core modules, Energy Management modules and a Management Consultancy Project.
