Energy master’s

The world is changing fast. Rather than fighting change, at UQ we believe it’s something to embrace.

As global demands for energy increase, the world will be required to transform traditional energy technologies and systems, while supporting renewable energy technologies and the development of new concepts and emerging solutions.

And we need a new breed of energy professionals to drive this change.

Here, you’ll learn with leaders in energy research who share your desire for a more sustainable and cleaner energy future. And as you learn, you’ll discover that sometimes the greatest change can happen in the moment you least expect.

UQ’s renewable energy infrastructure

Solar Array

UQ is proud to be a leader in the renewable energy field, with the largest solar energy generation capacity of any Australian university.

Our infrastructure includes the 3.275-megawatt Gatton Solar Research Facility, the biggest of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and a 2.14-megawatt integrated photovoltaic system at the St Lucia campus, one of the largest integrated photovoltaic installations in the country.

Electric vehicle charging stations

As part of UQ’s commitment to sustainable transport, The University of Queensland has recently installed electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the St Lucia and Gatton campuses.

The chargers are the first solar-powered fast-charging infrastructure to be built in Queensland, and are available for free use by the public as well as staff and students.
