Overview

Transforming toward sustainable and resilient societies require high-performing batteries for powering electric vehicles, balancing wind and solar power and thousands of other devices ranging from medicine to microelectronics. Contributing to this development requires extensive knowledge in chemistry, materials, and engineering to design, construct, and implement these electric storage units.

Uppsala University harbours one of Europe's largest educational and research facilities dedicated to the science and development of batteries, with close ties to global industrial producers and users of batteries. You will meet some of the main actors in the European and Swedish industry in the field of batteries through study visits, guest lectures, and thesis work. As a student, you will experience the research frontier of battery materials and cells as well as their state-of-the-art production and application.

Careers

While many jobs are found at the core of this development - the battery production industry - most are expected either upstream (battery materials, components) or downstream (electric vehicles, for example). The programme also serves as an excellent introduction to PhD studies in the battery field.

Examples of jobs suited for graduates of this Battery Technology and Energy Storage Master's programme:

Battery specialist
