We aim to provide you with a sound working knowledge of automotive engineering concepts, principles and practice. You will gain a broad, in-depth understanding of the principles of automotive engineering by studying the design and manufacture of engineering systems, learning practical engineering skills and carrying out a range of laboratory experiments. You will get practical hands-on experience of specialist technology whilst design projects test your creative engineering skills. Focus is on key automotive skills desired by both passenger and racing car industries. You can get involved in the design, development and racing of a Formula Student racing car.

There is a national shortage of graduate engineers, particularly those with an accredited BEng qualification, making our graduates highly sought after by employers. There is also a high demand for design engineers and product designers in small to medium enterprises. Engineering graduates enjoy one of the lowest unemployment rates and one of the best starting salaries. Our recent graduates occupy a variety of roles in engineering consultancies, manufacturing, aircraft design and manufacture, automotive and railway engineering, steel manufacturing, naval engineering, water companies and the power and nuclear fuels industries.
