Our new MSc will train the next generation of engineers and scientists to address the challenges of Net Zero in the areas of batteries, fuel cells and electric machines. This innovative and highly interdisciplinary programme in new state-of-the art facilities has been designed and will be delivered with industry partners, giving you the edge in a fast-paced and competitive sector.
About this degree
UCL Chemical Engineering, situated in the heart of London, is one of the top-rated departments in the UK, being internationally renowned for its outstanding research. It has pioneered popular Masters-level modules in this field and hosts the Electrochemical Innovation Lab, a world-leading research centre for electrochemical materials and devices. The Advanced Propulsion Lab builds on existing enthusiasm and success, focusing on pack, stack and vehicle engineering and innovation.
The Advanced Propulsion MSc will enable the “Clean Economy” by training you to join the next generation of engineers and scientists specialising in batteries, fuel cells and electric machines on an industrial scale. This highly skilled workforce is critical to electrifying automotive, marine and air transport and achieving ambitious climate targets (UK’s Industrial Strategy (Clean Growth (2017) and Road to Zero (2018) initiatives).
You will test and apply your knowledge in an interdisciplinary design project and a research project, and have the option to specialise in one of three routes: materials, electrochemical power sources, or systems.
The course will be delivered at the brand new UCL East campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London. This is the biggest development in our 200-year history, and our accessible, state-of-the-art facilities will have shared labs and workshop spaces open to all, to facilitate collaboration across different disciplines. The Park around the campus is a living landscape of biodiversity and a testbed for ground-breaking innovation.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in relevant subject from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

The MSc will prepare graduates for careers in sustainability around batteries, fuel cells and electric machines.
Recent university graduates will gain specific expertise in the materials, electrochemical and systems engineering involved in designing electric powertrains.
Mid-career professionals already employed will expand their range of knowledge and expertise. Graduates will also be equipped for further postgraduate research in relevant disciplines.
The urgent need to transition to the clean economy and electrify transport have created skills shortages in this high-value design and manufacturing sector. This programme will address this shortage by developing multidisciplinary scientists and engineers with the required level of breadth and depth to address the manufacturing, scientific, engineering, and commercial challenges in the field. Moreover, given the industrially focused nature of this programme, it is expected that graduates of this MSc will be in high demand due to their breadth of expertise, numerical ability, and problem-solving skills.
