SEDV

MSc in Sustainable Energy Development

Where bold thinking energizes change.

The SEDV Program is a unique interdisciplinary Master of Science program at the University of Calgary dedicated to training professionals in sustainable energy and how it supports our society and its enterprise systems. We prepare graduates for senior roles in energy, with a focus on the science of energy systems, and practical experience in conventional and novel project development, including fossil fuels, the transition to lower carbon sources of energy, demand-side management, energy efficiency, renewables and offsets. Graduates from the SEDV program understand the theory and have acquired skills in understanding the impacts of energy development on the environment, Indigenous Peoples, communities and the economy.

As an SEDV student, you will enjoy the many benefits and opportunities offered by the University of Calgary and School of Public Policy to further enhance your skillset and experience as you prepare for the transition from student to energy professional.

My journey with SEDV has been an adventure. It has enabled me to rise above limits and explore sectors previously out of bounds. It has facilitated the startup of my own business, with the long-term goal of transforming donor-recipient relationships in Africa.
