Master Programme in Low Carbon Energy

Climate change is a common challenge faced by all humanity. Demand has never been higher for sound evidence on public engagement with energy and environment issues, and public support for community and commercial investments in low carbon energy generation. The Master Programmes of LCC intend to create a community of diverse culture, and aim to train students to have a comprehensive understanding of the low carbon industry and a deep insight into a sustainable society. Our graduates go on to a wide range of activities in industry, government or the NGO sector.
Currently, LCC has two full-time Master  Programmes in Low Carbon Environment and Low Carbon Energy. These two progranmmes are dual degree programmes with the University of Edinburgh. They are mostly conducted in English and normally take two and a half years to complete.
Students spend their first year studying at the LCC in Shanghai, and can apply to study at UoE for their second year, at the end of which (if successfully completed) they receive a degree from UoE. Students then return to LCC to complete their thesis, and receive a graduation diploma from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
