Automotive Engineering with Business Management MSc

About

Combine specialist knowledge in engineering with advanced business and management skills to impact the future of vehicle engineering in the automotive sector.

Our course advances your technical knowledge in areas such as propulsion systems and how their development influences vehicle engineering. You'll explore the impact of a range of applications and technologies, analysing past failures and predicting future challenges. Using a systems-thinking approach, you’ll look at wider issues affecting the automotive sector including moral, ethical and sustainability.

Alongside engineering studies, you'll learn about business and management in industry, focusing on the automotive sector. This includes resource management, business processes and theory, and change management. All this helps you to develop skills useful for your future career, whatever that might be.

At the start of the course, we set you a topical automotive theme that carries through to group projects. This ensures that subject-based units are relevant to professional practice in industry. It also gives you the benefit of a personalised learning pathway.

You'll experience transdisciplinary learning in group projects where you'll collaborate with students across our suite of automotive courses. You’ll also tackle a real engineering management challenge with an industrial mentor on our industry-linked business consultancy project. Here, you’ll explore new and existing business models. This includes innovative and conscientious partnerships that balance economic growth with the impact of their activity on society.
