Sustainability Economics and Finance MSc

This programme provides students a broad but rigorous training in the field of Sustainability Economics and Finance through a combination of relevant economics and finance-related courses in the context of environment, energy, natural resources, sustainability policies, and carbon management.<br/><br/>The world faces complex and interconnected challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, pollution, and environmental degradation. These issues cannot be effectively addressed without a solid understanding of both economics/finance and environmental sustainability.<br/><br/>At the same time, there is a growing demand for professionals who can bridge the gap between economics/finance and sustainability. The MSc(Econ) Sustainability Economics and Finance contributes to filling this gap. It will prepare students to become professionals who can navigate the intricate intersection of these domains.<br/><br/>With Scotland being an unquestionable leader in the field of sustainability, and Aberdeen being ‘the energy capital of Europe’, there is no better place to learn about sustainability than the North-East of Scotland. The advantage of being based here also derives from the proximity to some of the most important and geographically varied landscapes in the whole UK.<br/><br/>The University of Aberdeen is a leader in teaching and research in the field of environmental and energy economics, and this programme builds on our considerable strengths in these areas. The Business School is home to the Aberdeen Centre for Research in Energy Economics and Finance (ACREEF), the Scottish Experimental Economics Laboratory (SEEL), and the Centre for Labour Market Research (CeLMR). There are especially strong links between the Economics Department and Health Economics Research Unit, one of the leading centres in health economics in Europe.
