Renewable Energy Accounting and Finance PhD
This is a potential research degree area, subject to the approval of the University. If you are interested in undertaking a research degree in this area, please make contact with the Dean to discuss your proposal.
A research project in the area of renewable energy, sustainability and environmental accountability could address issues concerning financial/nonfinancial measurements, reporting, as well as financial analysis relating to conventional energy, nonconventional energy, transitioning to clean energy, carbon emission and pursuit of global environmental sustainability objectives.
A research degree in this area may appeal if you are looking to develop a career in the national energy sectors, the renewable energy generation/distribution subsector and related international energy organisations. A research degree at Abertay can also prepare you for a rewarding career as an academic and researcher.
