About the course
Reasons to study
- The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which means it goes towards helping you get Chartered Engineer status (CEng).
- You'll study on our EnABLE modules, providing you with an opportunity to work in a team to solve real engineering challenges and develop skills relevant to industry.
- In your final year you'll concentrate on management skills, all with the aim of enabling you to go on and become a leader in this exciting industry.
Why Automotive and Motorsport Engineering?
The automotive industry is a hugely rewarding sector for a professional engineer and has a key part to play in the ever pressing drive toward a sustainable future. An effective transport system for people and goods is the lifeblood of national and global economic prosperity.
How You Could Impact The World
From hybrid and electric technologies to fuel cells and the challenges of vehicle autonomy, there are many ways in which you could play your part in a cleaner, safer, more sustainable future for us all. The careers open to you could allow you to make a real difference to the world. Graduates with an enhanced MEng level engineering training could become key influencers and industry leaders overseeing the transformation of our future.
Career Goals and Employability
Our research and consultancy with partners such as Nissan, Toyota, BMW, Jaguar, Cummins Turbo Technologies, Eaton Transmissions and BBA Friction, give us strong industrial relationships which help drive your employability and longer term career goals. An MEng qualification is intended to shorten your path to become a chartered engineer and enhance your leadership and management potential.
The Course
Weve designed this course to give you the fundamental principles of mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer and fluid flow with manufacturing technologies. These are then related directly to your automotive specialism through the investigation of propulsion systems, power transfer and chassis dynamics. Project work on real world scenarios will then complete your preparation for a role in the automotive sector.
In our Mechanical Engineering subject area, all of our degree programmes share the same first year of study, which means you can leave your options open until the start of your second year. During your first and second year you'll take part in our initiative called EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). This will give you the opportunity to work together in small teams solving real Automotive and Motorsport Engineering problems and testing your solution against other groups in a supportive and friendly competitive environment.
In your third year you will have an option to take an industrial placement. We are always supportive and encouraging about having students take this option, which offers excellent real world engineering experience to help you stand out at graduate interviews. In the fourth year you will work on a selected individual research/design project with the support of your academic supervisor. In your fifth (Master's) year you will take part in a team project involving the design, build and friendly competitive testing of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle, for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail. These activities will focus on enhancing your leadership and project management skills.
