Abstract

Postgraduate (PG) geothermal energy education is a highly specialised area offered by very few universities around the world. History have witness the demise of several geothermal education programs when their funding was withdrawn.In this investigation we will give an overview of the global geothermal education programmes. The background, course structure, teaching philosophy, student cohort and funding for the PG geothermal energy course at the University of Auckland is provided. A vision going forward is required given the recent decline in the number of students attending the course and the drop in oil prices which is affecting the global geothermal energy industry.
