Sustainable Energy Engineering and Policy

The master’s programs in Sustainable Energy prepare students for employment related to sustainable energy in government, business, or the civil society sector, and/or to serve as a foundation for further graduate education at the doctoral level. The program involves learning across two distinct disciplines — engineering and public policy. Students specialize in one side or the other of the program, graduating with either an engineering degree (MASc or MEng in Sustainable Energy) or a public policy degree (MPP in Sustainable Energy and the Environment) as appropriate.
