    Automotive Engineering MSc

    About

    Our Automotive Engineering MSc will give you an in-depth insight into the key technological ideas that are driving automotive design and their practical application. 

    The course has been designed with industry partners. Youâll learn using the latest computer-based analysis and design techniques in the automotive industry. Youâll gain knowledge of a range of industry standard software and hardware.

    Your understanding of the theoretical aspects of automotive engineering will be enhanced by practical application whether by virtual simulation or by working on real vehicles in our advanced automotive workshop.

    Research Excellence Frame work 2021 (REF 2021)

    Weâre extremely proud of the results for our Engineering research submissions:

    75% of research impact is recognised as “very considerable” or “outstanding”

    87% of research outputs are rated “internationally excellent” or “world leading”

    Professional body accreditation

    Students completing an IMechE accredited degree are deemed to have met part or all of the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer and are in a strong position to move on to achieve professional engineering status after a period of initial professional development in industry.

    The accredited MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng(Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.

    Teaching

    We know that everyone learns differently. So not only do we use traditional ways of teaching like lectures, we also use problem-based learning to help you apply your skills.   

    For this course, you'll:   

    • Work with others on group work   
    • Delve deeper into subject areas in workshops
    • Be expected to study independently   

    Our teaching is supported through our Virtual Learning Environment called Blackboard. This means you can access a range of materials to support your lectures wherever you are.   

    Well also assign you a supervisor to support you throughout your research project.

    Assessment

    There are two types of assessments: practice (also called formative) or formal (also called summative). Practice assessments do not count towards your final mark. These are your chance to test your understanding – and learn how to improve for the real thing.  Youll have formal assessments at the end of each module. These could include essays, exams, or portfolios.
