This extended course has been developed to allow you to broaden your knowledge of automotive engineering, provide the opportunity to study topics of particular interest in more depth and to undertake a substantial individual project. The first two years are studied in common with the BEng students. In Year 3, MEng students study a wider range of subjects and in the final year the teaching and assessment are conducted at an advanced level with taught material drawing on current research topics and with substantial project work included. Through exchange schemes there are also opportunities to study for part of the final year at external national and overseas research establishments and universities.

Graduates work primarily in product design and development and are sought after by a wide range of automotive and motorsport companies. Students that wish to pursue other careers are well-equipped to work in other sectors of the vehicle industry, or in other sectors of engineering, finance and business. Academically gifted students are encouraged to undertake postgraduate studies within the Department.
