    About

    Use your knowledge to specialise in an evolving area of technology and develop the management skills to play a part in the future of the automotive industry.

    Our course introduces you to key scientific principles in automotive technology, giving you specialist insight into the subject to build on your existing skills. You’ll develop systems-thinking approaches to the moral, ethical, and sustainability issues the automotive sector faces. Your studies will cover some of the leading areas of development in industry such as advanced propulsion systems, sustainable mobility and innovation for a zero-carbon economy.

    You'll explore the impact of applications and technologies, analysing past failures and predicting future challenges and successes. Alongside this, you’ll learn about business and management in the sector. You’ll cover areas such as resource management, business processes, business theory, and change management.

    We'll set a topical automotive theme at the start of the year that you'll carry through into group projects. This ensures the subject-based units reflect what is happening 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 real engineering management challenges with an industrial mentor on an 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.
