Aims

To introduce students to frameworks, concepts and principles associated with managing International Energy Markets Students will learn to develop the necessary knowledge and structure of energy markets so as to analyse those markets from a managerial perspective Students will also learn about other related topics such as a cost of curves of various energy sources, introduction of linear programming (as a management tool) and energy transpiration The module also introduces students to emerging trends in international law and finance, with an eye towards projecting their impact on the future dynamics of international trade


Learning Outcomes

(LO1) Apply basic models and methodologies as a means to understand energy markets for fossil fuel and renewable energy resources

(LO2) Understand the issues involved in determining energy market structures and energy policy

(LO3) Apply and demonstrate analytical skills which will contribute to performing managerial tasks in the energy sector

(LO4) Analyse and interpret energy data and statistics from a managerial perspective

(S1) Communication Skills: Students will have opportunities to develop written communication skills through group discussions and assignments.

(S2) Problem Solving and Decision Making: Students will be challenged to think critically about organisational issues and dilemmas. They will do this by gathering and synthesising information, analysing alternative perspectives and options and presenting a considered opinion or programme of action in their course assessment.

(S3) Information and Communication Technology Skills: Students will have opportunities to improve their ICT skills. Students will demonstrate skills in the use of software applications including word processing, visual presentations, data bases, spreadsheets and using the internet for information searches in the course.

(S4) Time management. This involves planning scheduled work and meeting assessment deadlines. This will be evident in the students’ independent management of their assignments and coursework and by meeting coursework deadlines.
