Greening Energy Market and Finance University of Bologna

Overview

Course Details

Given his expected key role in favouring the transition to a more sustainable economy, the SEE must combine a number of competences usually belonging to different profiles as the engineering knowledge of green sources of energy, the competences in sustainable economy and the quantitative skills in risk management and financial engineering. This interdisciplinary approach is meant to educate such a pivotal to contribute to the setting of a vital economy with an environment-preserving behavior.

In the feasibility matter, the role of financial knowledge is discovered to be undeniably important in order to realize the sustainable diversification of energy supply, thanks to a natural risk control policy and hedging. 

The design of the educational path of the Greening Energy Market and Finance program at University of Bologna aims to fill the gap in the current educational offer.

Main innovations with respect to the current educational offer:

• Multidisciplinary educational path involving and mixing three different tracks of disciplines, competences and skills: Technological/Engineering, Financial, Business/Economical

• Industries are part of the faculty: they are expected to have an active role in teaching (external courses), in providing internships, in suggesting firm-oriented methodologies.

Specialisations

Although mixing the three areas of competences, students will be able to choose a predominant one, being able to undertake one of three possible specializations, each of them with a specific focus on one of the tracks. 

The specializations result in three different curricula and they will allow the SEE to acquire knowledge in specific areas according to the market needs:

• SEE in Renewable technologies
• SEE in Environmental Finance
• SEE in Climate and Business Science
