Would you like to specialize in a future-oriented field that is key to an electrified and climate-neutral society? By completing a specific course package in battery technology at Chalmers University of Technology, you can receive a certificate of knowledge – a so-called microcredential. This provides a clear and documented skills profile in a cutting-edge and interdisciplinary area of technology.
What is a microcredential?
A microcredential is a certificate that confirms you have completed a coherent set of courses within a specific subject area. Unlike taking separate, unrelated courses, a microcredential provides focused and quality-assured competence that is valuable both in master’s programs and on the job market. It serves as a complement to your degree and demonstrates deeper knowledge in a particular field.
The courses included in the microcredential are open to anybody fulfilling the entry requirements, whether you are a student or PhD student at Chalmers, at a different university, an alumnus, or a professional.
Microcredential: Battery technology – current knowledge and future challenges
The courses included in the microcredential in battery technology are designed to give you a broad yet focused understanding of modern battery systems – from fundamental battery chemistry to advanced modeling and control. The expertise you gain is particularly relevant within the automotive industry, energy storage, and other technology-intensive sectors where electrification plays a central role.
Once you have completed all the courses in the program, you can apply for a microcredential in battery technology. The microcredential serves as proof of your specialization and can be a valuable asset in your future career.
Courses included in the battery technology microcredential
To earn the microcredential in battery technology, you need to complete the following courses:
- TRA280 – Battery Essentials: Fundamentals and Future Trends (can be replaced by EEN016)
- TRA360 – Battery Processing: From Materials to Components
- TRA445 – Battery Analysis: Testing, Control and Modelling
You also have the option to apply for the three-course package as a set with the course code BAT26.
All courses are held in English. Apply for the courses at universityadmissions.se/antagning.se
