Postgraduate geothermal energy education worldwide and the New Zealand experience

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.
