Objectifs
Energy remains a vital, but elusive issue for whole world. It’s is the most important part of international trade, oil alone being the most important item in world trade. The energy industry is particularly capital intensive. Hence it is an activity characterised by heavy capital investment, long lead times, modest operational costs because of limited employment, but a high turnover and value added per person employed. This underlines the need for a strategic approach to energy issues. The programme is designed so as to give analytical skills and knowledge of current markets, business strategies and regulatory models in both the petroleum and electricity sectors.
Moreover, environmental issues have become increasingly important for the energy industry, whether it is the production, the transportation or the use of energy. This is yet another aspect of the relevance of politics for business.
All these reasons lead three cooperating schools, ESCP-EAP, the Institut Français de Pétrole (IFP), and BI Norwegian School of Management to offer a new Executive Specialized Master Programme in Energy Management.
Situated in France and Norway, some of the world's leading energy producers, the Executive MS in Energy Management gives participants a unique opportunity to learn about a broad range of energy issues in an advanced industrial setting under sophisticated government regulation.

The thesis marks the culmination of the degree and is orally presented to a committee at the end of the programme. It represents 30 of the total of 75 ECTS credits earned over the year.
