The global challenges of climate and energy require new technologies for renewable energy sources, methods of energy storage, efficient energy use, techniques for carbon capture and storage, climate engineering, as well as an appreciation of the impact of these on the environment. This is a broad-based MSc, ideal for you if you wish to acquire skills in energy and materials chemistry in order to participate in the emerging challenges to meet climate change targets.
Taught modules are delivered through a mixture of lectures, workshops and tutorials. These modules will enhance your subject knowledge in materials science, and chemistry as applied to the areas of energy, and environment, and also develop your transferrable and professional skills.
Who this course is for
This MSc offers science and engineering graduates with a strong chemistry background the opportunity to expand into materials science and is suitable for materials graduates who intend to focus on energy and climate-related careers.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
This MSc programme seeks to train the next generation of materials scientists with particular interest in the energy and environment fields and strong relevance to net zero target. Students will gain skills in materials synthesis, characterisation, analysis and applications by using the state-of-the-art methods and equipment and in many areas that are closely related to energy storage, energy conversion, sustainability, biochemistry, and so on, many of which have direct relevance to industry and practical use.
Students will gain the skills through teaching delivery and project participation, as well as important professional skills learning. The MSc will equip students with strong awareness of energy and environmental issues, in-depth knowledge of materials chemistry, communication skills, practical skills via research projects, critical thinking, and problem solving ability. All of these are valuable to enhance students’ employability.
Employability
The UK has committed to 80% reduction in CO2 emissions on a 1990 baseline by 2050. CERES, the organisation that represents the largest institutional investors would like to see 90% reduction by 2050. National Systems of Innovation (NSI), which includes the universities, research centres and government departments working in conjunction with industry, will need to apprehend new opportunities and change direction, diverting personnel to energy and climate issues in response to changing markets and legislation. This MSc will contribute to the supply of personnel needed for the era of sustainability.
