COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Low Emission Energy Technology is designed for engineering graduates interested in upskilling in the rapidly evolving energy export and utilisation industries.
With a profound shift from traditional emissions-controlled liquefied natural gas to cleaner and more sustainable energy vectors such as hydrogen and ammonia, this course plays a pivotal role in preparing you for this transformative journey. Upon graduating, you’ll be equipped to bridge the gap between traditional energy export methods and emerging sustainable energy vectors of the future by gaining detailed knowledge and understanding of core concepts including energy export vectors, the ability to assess environmental and energy efficient impacts, and the ability to design strategic energy export plans.
Course structure
Postgraduate coursework degrees and combined (coursework and research) degrees comprise a number of units.
Why study this course?
UWA is a leading academic institution focussed on the safe and reliable extraction and utilisation of hydrocarbon-based energy sources.
Our academics work closely with Perth’s leading oil and gas companies to deliver cutting-edge education and technology in the energy sector. Several of our academics hold prestigious industry Chair roles in companies such as Shell, Chevron and BHP.
You’ll have diverse career opportunities that are supported through established partnerships with major oil and gas organisations
You’ll learn to
Demonstrate an understanding of energy export vectors in the context of diverse transport, storage and utilisation requirements.
Assess the energy and emissions intensity associated with the creation of export vectors, including liquefied natural gas, hydrogen and ammonia.
Design an energy export strategy with technical consideration of source vectors, processing, and utilisation.
Career Pathways
Students of this course will gain the skills and knowledge to bridge the gap between conventional and emerging practices of energy export, and be ready to navigate dynamic industries in NGOs, renewable resources, government agencies, consultancy firms and more.
Further Study
Further study will allow you to gain a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). It will open up opportunities in academia and research to help you pursue your goals in a wide range of careers, depending on your area of research.
REQUIREMENTS
To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have— (a) a Master of Professional Engineering, or a Bachelor of Engineering(Honours), or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA; and (b) the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 65 per cent.
