INTRODUCTION
The ever increasing energy demand and the threat of fast depleting
energy resources in recent times have caused concerns on
sustainable energy supply worldwide. Under these circumstances,
the oil, gas and energy industry domestically and globally faces with
the urgent need for managers and professionals who are not only
competent in managing their businesses but who are also visionary
leaders capable of driving their energy businesses in a sustainable
manner in tandem with the challenging environment. The offering of
a Master of Business Administration in Energy Management
(MBA-EM) programme is expected to become a very apt solution to
develop visionary leaders for the energy industry.
The programme comprises 15 modules with 10 core business
modules, 5 energy management specialisation modules and a
capstone project.
The MBA-EM programme will expose students to a wide range of
real work challenges and will enrich students’ learning experiences
through case studies. Apart from lectures, the MBA-EM programme
offers a variety of learning approaches such as seminar, case studies
and research based projects – all of which are targeted to authenticate
the classroom learning experiences.
In order to provide greater value and global exposure to the students,
all the five energy management specialisation modules will be
delivered by experienced visiting professors from renowned
international universities.
Programme Educational Objective (PEO)
To develop leaders who are competent in driving and sustaining
global energy business.
Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO)
Upon completion of the programme, graduates should be able to:
• Analyse current and emerging trends in the global energy
sector to develop and implement effective energy
management strategies for global sustainability;
• Evaluate business decisions to ensure efficient and
sustainable management of resources and the
environment; and
• Integrate management, leadership and business principles
to perform strategic roles in energy management.
The programme objective and learning outcomes are developed
with inputs provided by the various stakeholders, namely faculty,
industry and regulatory bodies’ representatives, experts and student
representatives through several expert panel workshops. The
objective and outcome will be periodically reviewed by relevant
parties including external examiners.
