Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Transitions
<p>The Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Transitions is a postgraduate programme that trains graduates in sustainable energy systems, energy policy, energy access, and clean energy transitions. The programme prepares graduates for advanced careers in renewable energy, energy policy, energy access, and sustainable energy development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Core areas include energy systems design, energy analytics, energy auditing, energy policy, energy economics, decentralised energy, energy digitalisation, entrepreneurship, project management, and research. Students engage with theoretical foundations and practical sustainable energy applications through a multi-disciplinary approach. The programme is offered by Strathmore University through its School of Computing and Engineering Sciences, with JKUAT as a college. Strathmore launched MSc SET in August 2021, with the first cohort of 10 students graduating in June 2024. The programme was developed with UK aid funding through the Transforming Energy Access Learning Partnership (TEA-LP), in partnership with eight African universities. Students develop competencies in energy system design, data analytics, energy auditing, policy analysis, entrepreneurship, and research. The programme includes coursework, laboratory sessions, industry internship or capstone project, examinations, and dissertation over six trimesters. The programme is delivered over two years divided into six trimesters, offered part-time in evenings from 5:30pm to 8:30pm EAT. Three trimesters of coursework in year one, one trimester of industry internship or capstone project, and two trimesters of dissertation. Entry requires First Class or Upper Second in Engineering, Computer Science, IT, Environmental Science, or science disciplines. Graduates pursue careers as energy engineers, energy analysts, energy policymakers, sustainability consultants, and energy entrepreneurs in energy companies, government, NGOs, and international organisations.</p><h3>Skills Required</h3><ul><li>Sustainable Energy Systems Design and Implementation</li><li>Energy Data Analytics and Research</li><li>Energy Auditing and Efficiency Assessment</li><li>Energy Policy and Regulatory Analysis</li><li>Decentralised Energy and Mini-Grid Systems</li><li>Energy Digitalisation and Smart Systems</li><li>Energy Economics and Project Finance</li><li>Energy Entrepreneurship and Innovation</li><li>Energy Project Management</li><li>Sustainable Energy Transitions Research Methods</li></ul><h3>Key Subjects</h3><ul><li>Sustainable Energy Systems</li><li>Energy Data Analytics</li><li>Energy Auditing and Efficiency</li><li>Energy Policy and Regulation</li><li>Energy Economics and Finance</li><li>Decentralised Energy Systems</li><li>Energy Digitalisation</li><li>Energy Entrepreneurship</li><li>Energy Project Management</li><li>Sustainable Energy Research Methods</li></ul><h3>Certifications</h3><ul><li>EPRA Energy Professional Certification</li><li>IRENA Sustainable Energy Certification</li></ul><h3>Specializations</h3><h4>Energy Systems Design</h4><p>Focuses on energy systems design, renewable energy systems, solar, wind, biomass, mini-grids, energy storage, and designing and implementing sustainable energy systems.</p><h4>Energy Analytics</h4><p>Examines energy data analytics, energy modelling, demand forecasting, energy statistics, data visualisation, and using data analytics in the energy sector.</p><h4>Energy Policy</h4><p>Covers energy policy, energy regulation, energy governance, energy access, SDG 7, energy transitions, and developing and implementing energy policy.</p><h4>Decentralised Energy</h4><p>Focuses on decentralised energy, mini-grids, off-grid systems, rural electrification, distributed generation, and designing and implementing decentralised energy systems.</p><h4>Energy Entrepreneurship</h4><p>Examines energy entrepreneurship, energy business models, clean energy startups, innovation, financing, and developing and managing energy enterprises.</p><h4>Energy Auditing and Efficiency</h4><p>Covers energy auditing, energy efficiency, energy management, ISO 50001, building energy, industrial energy, and auditing and improving energy efficiency.</p>
