Master of Energy in Energy Science Policy

Energy has arisen as an important issue in international society. The global demand for energy resources is increasing; however, energy resources are not easily accessible due to environmental pollution and limited natural resources. These energy problems are largely addressed in the form of policy decisions, technical analyses of innovations, and demonstrations and market expansions in the fields of renewable energy, fossil energy, and nuclear energy. Given the critical importance of energy issues, well-trained and educated experts with multi-disciplinary knowledge of the energy sector are urgently needed both domestically and internationally. The world’s energy problems are complex in nature and are closely related to various social, political, economical, industrial, and environmental issues. Furthermore, understanding energy is directly related to the basic sciences and various engineering disciplines. Therefore, energy experts must possess an understanding of social sciences, basic sciences, and engineering and be able to use their knowledge of these disciplines to create balanced solutions to the world’s energy crises.
