Program description
You will learn engineering principles and analytical methods in our automotive engineering course. Additionally, it will give you real-world experience.
You will study mathematics, engineering principles and design and management. And you’ll develop analytical skills through the study of:
- dynamics
- thermodynamics
- stress analysis
Lab exercises will expand your knowledge of vehicle design. And You'll study automotive engineering in your last year.
You will have the opportunity to earn an IMechE-accredited Monitored Professional Development Scheme (MPDS) accreditation by participating in a work placement with one of the university's industrial partners.
You can also participate in Formula Student because our students frequently win prizes.
We developed this course with input from the sector so our graduates are highly sought after. Many progress to further study, others have found jobs well known companies such as Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Cosworth.
