Master of Energy Change (Advanced)

About

The Master of Energy Change (Advanced) is a multi-disciplinary coursework and research degree which will provide you with both a strong basis in the fundamental areas related to energy change, as well as allowing you to undertake advanced courses and research in areas suited to your individual interests. A major key to addressing climate change is the need for a world-wide change to carbon-free forms of energy production. Our program brings together the wide-ranging expertise present at ANU to cover policy, legal, environmental and regulatory aspects of energy change, underpinned by a fundamental scientific and technical base.

Research component

This degree has been accredited at AQF Level 9 with a significant component of research. 

Admission criteria

• Applicants must present a Bachelor degree or international equivalent with a minimum GPA of at least 5.5/7.0 with at least 8 courses in a cognate discipline, which must also have a minimum GPA of 5.5/7.0.
• Compliance with the Australian National University's English language requirements for admission policy.

The GPA requirement for this program must be met by both the program as a whole, as well as by the 8 courses in a cognate discipline. Where more than 8 cognate courses have been completed by the applicant, ANU will take the best 8 courses when assessing the cognate GPA.

Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met. Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program.

Cognate disciplines

Biology, Business and Finance, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Economics, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Information Sciences, Law, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Sociology.

GPA calculation

ANU uses a 7-point grade point average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities.

Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications that are eligible to be considered.

Course credit or exemption

For information about course credit for previous studies, see the program entry or read about course credit or exemption on the ANU website.

Progression requirements

Students must achieve a minimum 70% weighted average mark in the first 48 units of coursework and have the approval of an identified supervisor for the research project to remain enrolled in the Master of Energy Change (Advanced)and continue to the research component. A condition of supervisor approval is that the research project is feasible and it should be noted that the majority of research projects will require on campus attendance.

Students who do not achieve a minimum 70% weighted average mark or do not have approval of an identified supervisor will be transferred to the Master of Energy Change or a Graduate Diploma of Science.
