ABOUT  LCC 
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is one of the most prestigious universities in China. According to the 2018 QS World University Rankings, SJTU is ranked 62th globally.
The China-UK Low Carbon College (LCC) is the first college in China which pioneers in low-carbon research and education.

Currently, LCC has two full-time Master Programs in Low Carbon Environment and Low Carbon Energy. It has established partnerships with top universities including the University of Edinburgh (UoE) and University College London (UCL).
Meanwhile, LCC is actively seeking collaboration opportunities with other world-class universities. It aims to establish a training base for interdisciplinary and practical talents in the field of low-carbon industry and carbon finance.

PROGRAMME  OVERVIEW

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. 

The Low Carbon Environment & Low Carbon Energy programs are dual degree programs with the University of Edinburgh. These programs are mostly conducted in English and normally take two and a half years to complete. Students can spend the second year at the University of Edinburgh (UoE) if they meet the entry requirements.

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.

LCC adopts a double advisory system.Each student will have an academic advisor and an industrial advisor. Through the double advisory system, students will gain knowledge and practical skills, broaden their social network and enhance their employment competitiveness with the help of their industrial advisors.
