 The curriculum is multidisciplinary with knowledge from varying backgrounds and disciplines all geared towards addressing energy challenges in Ghana. Case studies on energy and environment will be employed in the course of teaching and learning. The students will also undergo field internships and practical attachments in energy-related industries.

Career Opportunities: There is an existing gap in expertise and the programme is expected to bridge the gap: Local Solutions for Energy Access, Appliances
for Off-Grid Communities and Mini-grids Planning and Design etc. Graduates of the P.hd (Clean Energy and Environment) programme will also be equipped with knowledge and skills that will help address the inadequacies in the energy sector.
