Motorsport engineering is an exciting branch of automotive engineering. The two pathways of this course have been developed to meet the specific demands of the motorsport industry and will give you the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of the relevant technologies and innovations. What will you study? The programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council, and satisfies the academic requirements for incorporated engineer (IEng) status. You can opt to take either the Motorsport Engineering pathway or the Motorcycle Engineering pathway. Year 1 is common across many of our engineering BSc degrees and provides the underpinning skills and knowledge you will need to study specialist motorsport engineering topics later in the course. It comprises analytical subjects such as mathematics, engineering science, structural mechanics and dynamics, which provide the necessary theoretical background; engineering design and applications, which provide the necessary skills; and an introduction to the profession of engineering. Year 2 will introduce you to more-specialist studies in motorsport engineering. You will look at all aspects of motorsport systems, including different engine types, transmission, brake, steering, suspension and chassis systems. As well as studying an advanced area of motorsport engineering within a simulated industrial environment, you will have the opportunity to extend your mathematics, design (CAD/CAM), mechanical science and project management skills. If you choose the Motorcycle Engineering pathway, you will study Motorcycle Systems Technology. Motorsport Engineering/Motorsport Engineering (Motorcycle) BSc(Hons) - 3 years full time Motorsport Engineering/Motorsport Engineering (Motorcycle) BSc(Hons) - 4 years full time including sandwich year Motorsport Engineering/Motorsport Engineering (Motorcycle) BSc(Hons) - 4/5 years full time including foundation year

This degree aims to meet an identified need for graduate-level professionals to work in specialist areas such as vehicle/component design, powertrain and chassis development and testing, and supervisory and business roles. Graduates may find career paths with motorsport vehicle designers and constructors, component manufacturers, performance tuners and race/rally teams.
