Master of Energy Systems – Financial Markets in Energy
Initiated in 2012 by Prof. Michael Brear, the Master of Energy Systems degree at the University of Melbourne bridged a long-standing gap in quality education on the theory and practice of energy markets, particularly in Australia, but also attracting students from around the world. Market Reform has been a supporter of the degree since its inception in 2012, advising on curriculum design, providing subject lecturers, and hosting interns.
The Energy Supply and Value Chains subject – the ‘capstone’ for the course – was taught to the first cohort of students in 2013. Its Financial Markets in Energy unit was taught from 2013 to 2016 by Todd Bessemer, Managing Director of Market Reform.
