Master’s in Energy Markets and Commercial Strategy Engineering for e-Mobility
Online master's programme of 1,900 hours in energy markets and commercial strategy engineering for e-mobility: 12 modules covering electricity markets, charging demand, energy procurement and hedging, charging business models, pricing, smart charging and flexibility, charging protocols, regulation, grid connection, B2B sales and analytics, with an assigned technical tutor.
Master’s in Energy Markets and Commercial Strategy Engineering for e-Mobility — studying from Canada
Canada's technology and engineering sectors rely on strong business and management capabilities, with concentrations of innovation in Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver and Calgary. Federal and provincial governments support industrial strategy, research funding and regulatory policy affecting engineering firms. Professionals in this area often manage engineering programmes, lead technology commercialisation and advise on compliance and public procurement. Large employers include the major banks, consulting firms and national engineering companies.
Fees for Canada: C$10,800 (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Canada
Which Canadian bodies regulate qualifications in business or technology management?
Business and management qualifications in Canada are not generally licensed by a single regulator in the way engineering is. Professional designations such as CPA Canada for accounting or the Project Management Institute's credentials are separate bodies with their own requirements. SEIUM's qualifications are private, not official state degrees and not accredited by a national body, so recognition is decided by employers or the relevant body.
Do Canadian employers value technology policy and management training from a private school?
It depends on the employer and the role. Canadian organisations hiring for technology strategy, policy or management usually weigh experience, results and recognised credentials. A private qualification may support your CV, particularly alongside a final project showing applied work, but it is not guaranteed to be valued. Clarify expectations with target employers before enrolling.
How demanding is this alongside work, and how are fees handled?
The programmes are fully online and suit working professionals studying at their own pace. Specialist courses take 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 and master's programmes 1,900, so consider your weekly capacity. Teaching is in English, with an assigned technical tutor. Fees are payable in instalments, and some employers sponsor staff, which you should ask your own employer about.
