About Frontier Innovation University
Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.
Overview
University of Brigant’s MSc Energy Transition and Project Economics is for people who already sit next to spreadsheets that decide whether a Scottish wind, heat, or decommissioning package survives contact with the grid and the bank. Taught from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin, it treats Contracts for Difference, constraint payments, and community-benefit narratives as project-economics problems, not as a generic ‘renewables MBA’. You will model cashflows under UK policy risk, read a grid-connection queue without pretending to be a power-systems engineer, and write an investment note a director on the Forth can table. Assessment standards are identical on campus and online. The award is academic: it is not CEng and it does not license you to stamp drawings.
Delivered on campus in Austin with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.
**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
