Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons) / MEng

About

Run by internationally recognised academics, our BEng and MEng give you the expertise needed to become a professional engineer in the automotive industry - or provide you with the skillset to take up a career in motorsport.

You'll have access to industry-standard software and facilities, and you can hone your practical, teamwork and leadership skills by joining the victorious Formula Student team.

You may also choose to take one of our award-winning Professional Training placements at major companies such as McLaren, Williams F1 and Rolls-Royce.

We deliver on jobs, too. This is why Surrey was named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022.

Our unique courses explore new and emerging sustainable automotive technologies, such as electric vehicles.

Throughout your studies, you'll learn to use state-of-the-art tools for vehicle analysis and development, such as computer-aided design, finite element method, fluid dynamics and vehicle dynamics software.

You'll also participate in Formula Student - Europe's most established student motorsport competition. This is a valuable opportunity to apply your knowledge and gain hands-on experience.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification.

Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Find out more about the benefits of an integrated masters degree.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

We do not accept school leaving qualifications from Jordan. However, if you do not meet the direct entry requirements for a course, you can apply to study an International Foundation Year programme at the University of Surrey International Study Centre. Upon successful completion, you can progress to an undergraduate degree at the University of Surrey.

Career

Communication skills

Vital to professional automotive engineers, these skills are developed in communications and information technology modules. You'll explore the whole spectrum of communication media, from chalk-and-talk to state-of-the-art computer software presentation packages.

Professional recognition

BEng (Hons) - Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UKSPEC. The accredited BEng (Hons) will also automatically meet in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

MEng - Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
The accredited MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements, for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Careers and graduate prospects

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

Over the last decade, our employment figures have been among the best in the UK. This was a key factor in Surrey being named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022. In the Graduate Outcomes survey 2022 results show 95 per cent of our undergraduate mechanical engineering sciences students go on to employment or further study.

Most of our graduates proceed directly to employment in an engineering profession. Typical automotive engineering careers span a wide range of areas, including design, research and development, testing and manufacturing.

Employers include some of the most famous names in engineering, motorsport, aerospace, energy and research. A significant number of students also continue their education at Surrey and elsewhere.

Recent graduates from our automotive engineering courses have entered employment in roles such as:
