 My name is Lily Dempster and I'm a Master of Energy Change student. I'm studying the advanced degree which involves a research component. My background is in environmental campaigning and I was working on clean energy campaigns and I really needed to improve my scientific literacy, improve my quantitative reasoning and I've really gotten that out of the degree. I've actually founded an organisation recently that helps people reduce their carbon footprints and my confidence in quantitative reasoning and science now has really equipped me to do that job effectively. The biggest draw card for me in the Master's programme was actually the range of academics I was going to have access to and that's proved really fruitful. They're people that are working in core roles in policy development in Australia and also at the cutting edge of renewable energy technology innovation. Being able to study under people like Frank Yotso, learn about climate change policy has been fantastic. This course offers a lot and you can sort of tailor it to your interests.
