For the energy transition to succeed, broader societal agreement is essential, both on the seriousness of the challenges posed by climate change and on the urgent need to move toward a net-zero emission society. That is why the Energy Science Master’s programme explores not only the scientific and technological foundations of the transition, but also the roles that businesses, governments, and civil society play in supporting or opposing it. By critically examining these different perspectives, Energy Science graduates are equipped to navigate complexity, build bridges between viewpoints, and actively contribute to a sustainable energy future.
