Graduate in as Little as 1 Year, 100% Online

Time matters when your industry is being reshaped by innovation, policy, and investment. This programme is purpose-built for working professionals and can be completed 100% online in as little as 1 year, allowing you to accelerate your advancement without pausing your career.

The focused curriculum and streamlined delivery keep your momentum high while still allowing you to dive deeply into the subjects that matter—energy markets, sustainability strategy, leadership, and change—so you can apply new insights immediately at work.

No Fixed Class Times

Your schedule is your own. The programme does not require online presence at specific times and dates. That means no late-night logins or calendar gymnastics to attend a lecture in another time zone—just flexible learning that adapts to your life in Melbourne.

Participate in discussions, review case studies, and complete assignments when you are most productive. Whether you study before the city wakes or after the kids are asleep, you remain in full control of your routine without compromising your learning experience.

Learn Anywhere—Even Offline with Our Mobile App

Study from anywhere in the world, even while on the move. Our mobile app allows you to download the study material and watch the lectures offline, so learning continues seamlessly on Melbourne’s trams, during interstate travel, or on flights abroad.

Because your materials sync across devices, you can highlight, annotate, and pick up right where you left off—from a laptop at home to a phone on your commute—keeping your progress steady and your goals on track.

Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Work

We use open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. In your professional life, success is not about memorising definitions; it is about finding, evaluating, and synthesising the best information to make sound decisions. This is exactly how you will be assessed.

Open-book, scenario-based assessments encourage critical thinking, research, and structured problem-solving. You will practise the same skills you need on the job: framing issues, analysing data, justifying recommendations, and communicating them persuasively.

World-Class Faculty and Mentors

Learn from tutors and faculty who graduated from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their collective expertise spans energy systems, sustainability strategy, finance, leadership, and policy.

These scholar-practitioners bring a wealth of case studies, current research, and practical insights, helping you connect rigorous theory to real-world decisions. Expect thoughtful feedback, challenging questions, and mentorship that raises your game.

A Truly Global Classroom and Career Network

Join a diverse student base from over 130 countries. You will collaborate with and learn from professionals across industries and regions—broadening your perspectives and expanding your global network far beyond Melbourne.

Our alumni work for international organisations like BHP, Chevron, Aramco, Mitsubishi Power, University of California Riverside, Lukoil, EDF, Kuwait Oil Company, Rosneft, Sinopec, Petrochina, ANZ, AIA, Westpac, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.

As you exchange ideas with peers across continents, you will build relationships that extend well beyond graduation—relationships that open doors, surface opportunities, and enrich your career for years to come.

Flexible Payments that Fit Your Plan

Advance without overextending your cash flow. Our fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest free instalments, helping you invest steadily in your future while managing monthly commitments.

This flexibility supports professionals who want a high-impact qualification without large upfront costs—so you can focus on learning and leading, not on financing logistics.
