The programme
Electrochemistry and its application in electrochemical engineering is an increasingly important area of science and technology, with relevance to energy (batteries, fuel cells and solar cells), corrosion, sensors, waste treatment, metal finishing and the electronics industry. This new programme will provide students with a background in both the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemistry, enabling them to pursue a variety of rewarding careers. The Southampton Electrochemistry Group is known worldwide for its excellence in research and education, the latter through the Electrochemistry summer school, a one-week course that started in 1969 and has run annually since.
The programme comprises core lectures and practical courses in semesters one and two, followed by an individual research project based in our own research laboratories or on placement with an industrial partner.
A Chemistry masters degree will give students valuable insight into postgraduate research skills. Independent project work will support students to develop transferable skills in areas such as time management, communication and presentation skills that are key for career success in a wide range of areas such as industry, analysis, policymaking and scientific communication. Completing an MSc qualification will help individuals tackle the challenges of an advanced research degree at PhD level and prepare them for a career in academia.
Typical career destinations for the MSc in Electrochemistry include;
− Further study towards a PhD in Electrochemistry
− R&D specialist in electrochemistry and material science for the development of batteries, fuel cells, electric vehicles, photovoltaic devices, dye sensitised solar cells
− R&D specialist in corrosion
− R&D specialist in electrodeposition
− R&D specialist in sensors
“Electrochemistry is a fascinating discipline with economic and societal impacts. Whether you aspire to work in industry or research the MSc Electrochemistry will give you the theoretical and practicals skills to fulfil your ambitions.”
Dr Guy Denuault, Associate Professor and Organiser of the Southampton Electrochemistry Summer School
