Description of the title
Mobility is undergoing a radical change with the introduction of numerous types of electrically driven vehicles, due to the advantages they offer in terms of energy and ecology. This type of mobility, both from an energy point of view due to the performance of the engines, and the possibility of drastically reducing CO2 emissions, especially in cities, which is combined with the possible production of energy from renewable sources, results in a very significant reduction of emissions at a global level.
The Master’s Degree in Electric Mobility is designed to train professionals with skills in the different technologies inherent to electric mobility, such as electric drives, power electronics, energy storage, the infrastructure necessary for recharging, vehicle dynamics, system control, and the overall management of all electric vehicles. The purpose of this master’s degree is for graduates to acquire current knowledge based on technological advances and to develop the skills and attitudes necessary to develop professionally in both emerging and traditional companies in the automotive sector.
In addition, the master’s degree covers various areas of electrical and mechanical engineering, focusing on electrical circuits, passive components, semiconductors and digital electronics, as well as electrical machines and electric and hybrid vehicles. Topics such as the design and operation of diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers and integrated circuits are included.
In the field of electric machines, its structure, principles of operation and types are studied, focusing on those used for electric traction. It also deals with the dynamics of electric vehicles, energy management through converters, and the design of recharging facilities.
Aspects of energy storage are studied, including batteries and super capacitors, as well as the production and use of hydrogen in fuel cells. In addition, control techniques for traction systems and electronic instrumentation, including sensors and actuators, are explored.
Finally, techniques for optimal location and management of electric mobility infrastructures are analyzed, incorporating cybersecurity aspects.

Research and access to Ph.
Study a PhD at ETSIADI and discover the academic excellence and cutting-edge research in the doctoral programs of the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial (School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design).
You can continue your training with the PhD Program in Design, Manufacturing and Management of Industrial Projects
This doctoral program aims to achieve a series of fundamental objectives oriented towards professional specialization and the encouragement of research in the field of industry for the design and development of new products, in their manufacture and in the management of industrial processes.
Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
The International Relations Subdirectorate of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design (ETSIADI) is active in international relations.
Every year, hundreds of students have the opportunity to complete their training in a foreign institution. ETSIADI participates in a large number of cooperation programs, both at European and worldwide level.
Facilities and laboratories
The Higher Technical School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design is located on the Vera Campus of the UPV (Valencia), occupying a built area of 16,859 square meters with a basement for parking, has its own laboratories and a hangar annexed to the main building that is used as a multidisciplinary laboratory and flight simulation.
Master’s Thesis
The Master’s Thesis represents the last stage of the student’s training. It is a multidisciplinary work related to the subjects studied in the degree. In the preamble of the UPV framework regulations, which regulates all phases of the process, the TFM is defined as “an autonomous activity of the student with the support of one or more tutors where the final result must always be an individual work of the student, defended before a tribunal”. It is, therefore, an original exercise to be carried out individually and to be presented and defended before a university tribunal.
The main objective of a master’s thesis is to demonstrate the competencies acquired during the master’s degree training. Given its integrative nature, the theoretical and practical training acquired by the student will conclude with the elaboration and defense of this final thesis, which will contribute to complete the development of all the competencies established for the degree.
On the website of the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design, you can find more detailed information about the process and each of the procedures to be carried out (Regulations and recommendations; Choice and assignment of TFM; Calendar for the Defenses; Evaluation Process; etc.).
