What you will study
Molde University College calls itself a specialised university in logistics. This master takes that expertise and points it at the energy sector. The programme is full time, taught in English, and runs for two years (120 ECTS) on the Molde campus.
What you study
The programme is built around three modules. The first covers economics and sustainability in the energy sector, with courses in Industrial Organization and Competition Policy, Energy Economics and Energy Transition. The second looks at energy value chains: Energy Analytics and Sustainable Technologies, Sustainability in Energy Logistics, Offshore Energy Logistics Planning, Upstream Offshore Logistics, and Planning of Renewable Energy Value Chains. The third module is quantitative logistics methods, taught in Transportation and Distribution, Vehicle Routing, and Discrete Event Simulation.
There is also a prep course in basic statistics, LOG718, and LOG904 Seminars in Logistics. The programme description stresses that logistics is about planning and managing flows of products, services and information from raw material suppliers to end users. For energy companies, reliable logistics is a key factor for a sustainable and secure energy supply. The teaching draws on cooperation with the energy industry.
How the programme is organised
You take 90 ECTS of coursework and write an MSc thesis of 30 ECTS in the fourth and final semester. The programme is full time over two years in Molde. The study plan is set out for each cohort, and current students can find plans for several intakes on the programme page.
Who it suits
This master suits students who want to work with logistics inside energy companies, not just general logistics. The programme focuses on upstream logistics operations in energy production, and on both traditional and renewable energy value chains. If you are interested in how energy sources are selected and mixed while balancing energy security with economic, social and environmental impacts, the course mix speaks to that. It also fits people who want quantitative tools: routing, distribution and simulation sit alongside energy economics and analytics.
