MSc Advanced Propulsion

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Masters Degree Description

Join this one-year Master's to help to shape ‘the clean economy’ as an engineer specialising in batteries, fuel cells and electric machines. You'll graduate with the skills to develop and deploy the newest electrochemical and electric propulsion technologies – skills that are desperately needed to electrify our automotive, marine and air transport industries, and help us reach net zero.

About this degree

The urgent need to move to a cleaner economy and electrify transport has created a skills gap, and increasing demand for highly-skilled engineers with expertise in this critical area.

This MSc will equip you with the multidisciplinary skills to help fill this gap. You'll develop the expertise to tackle pressing manufacturing, scientific, engineering and commercial challenges.

On this course, you'll build specialist skills in developing batteries, fuel cells and electric machines on an industrial scale. You'll also test and apply your knowledge in an interdisciplinary design project and research project, which will be undertaken alongside PhD and post-doctoral researchers in our world-leading laboratories.

You'll have the opportunity to specialise in 1 of 3 routes – materials, electrochemical power sources, or systems – depending on your area of interest.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a lower second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
