About Mechanical Engineering at Brunel Mechanical Engineering offers a number of MSc courses all accredited by professional institutes as appropriate additional academic study (further learning) for those seeking to become qualified to register as Chartered Engineers (CEng). Accrediting professional institutes vary by course, and include the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Energy Institute (EI) and Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE). Teaching in the courses is underpinned by research activities in aerospace engineering, automotive/motorsport engineering, solid and fluid mechanics, and energy & environment. Staff generate numerous publications, conference presentations and patents, and have links with a wide range of institutions, both within and outside the UK. The discipline benefits from research collaboration with numerous outside organisations, including major oil companies, vehicle manufacturers, and other leading industrial firms and governmental laboratories. We have links with at least six teaching hospitals and work with universities in China, Poland, Egypt, Turkey, Denmark, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Italy and the USA. Aims The programme is intended to provide an MSc level course with a mix of modules in automotive and motorsport engineering topics, which delivers an integrating layer on top of subject specific first degree or professional skills. The primary focus of this programme is to create Master's degree graduates who are well equipped with the knowledge and skills to work in a multi discipline subject area, typically encountered in the automotive and motorsport engineering industry. The programme will assist students to develop their imagination and creativity to follow a successful engineering career, and enable them to attain senior positions within national and international companies and organisations. The course will be organised in such a way that students will have the option to be specialised, if they wish, in automotive engineering or motorsport engineering.

Automotive and motorsport engineers have some of the most exciting roles in the science, engineering and technology sector. There is a high demand for graduate engineers ready to tackle the challenges of the future, such as finding ways to design and build vehicles more cost effectively, or working to address wider environmental and safety concerns, or working in motor racing. The course is designed to equip graduates with the skills required by industry. Alongside technical skills, the programme provides students with business and team-working skills vital to the automotive and motorsport sectors. The course’s graduates go on to careers with leading automotive companies as well as motor racing teams (eg Jaguar Land Rover, Delphi, Ford, and racing firms such as Mercedes High Performance Engines, Red Bull, Williams, Lotus, etc).
