INNOVATION PROFILE UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School: IN SEPTEMBER 2012, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School will offer what is believed to be the first Master of Science in Energy Environmental Finance.
The programme is aimed at those who want to pursue a career in the energy and environmental markets sector and is suitable for graduates from a wide variety of disciplines including finance, economics, engineering, environmental science and mathematics.
The new programme is aimed at advancing understanding of finance theory, with specific focus on the practical aspects of energy-environmental financial markets. “It encourages students to develop creative and analytical approaches to problem solving in the energy-environment sphere and to enhance their interpersonal and leadership skills,” adds Dr Don Bredin, director of the MSc in Energy and Environmental Finance.
“I have been working on research in this area for the past six to eight years, and during that time, I noticed a dramatic growth in green energy investments worldwide,” he adds, explaining the origins of the programme. “Investment has increased almost fivefold, from $52 billion to $243 billion in 2010. At the same time, green investments managed out of Ireland have been growing very rapidly and have doubled to $2.3 billion over the past two years. And these are managed funds we are talking about – not just funds which are administered here.”
A perfect info source. Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic.
