If you want to work with suppliers, manufacturers and specialist enterprises in the automotive and motorsport sectors - with companies such as Bentley, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and JCB - this course could be for you. You'll apply mechanical engineering principles to automotive applications, developing the skills to analyse complex automotive systems. You'll take specialist modules covering engine design, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). Our facilities include computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA) and Ricardo WAVE engine simulation and analysis software. We also have strong work placement links, so you'll gain valuable experience as part of your study. Level seven modules include MEng Group Project: This module is intended to develop your ability to work in a high performing engineering team. A series of industrially related case studies will enable students to meet state of the art research materials within a relevant context. Applied Mechanical Engineering Design: This module is intended to develop your ability to work in an engineering design team. An industrially related case study will enable students to put design skills into practice within an industrial context. Employability and Entrepreneurship: allows graduate students from any subject area within Engineering to use their discipline in an enterprise and entrepreneurial context in order to provide solutions to key societal challenges that affect their area of work, or engage their interests. This module asks students to bring their discipline with them and share their expertise with others to identify commercial solutions. In a fast changing and highly competitive world, all organisations need creative, enterprising and entrepreneurial people, and this module aims to enhance employability by developing these key attributes. You'll have the chance to use and develop your theoretical knowledge, using computer-based models to design, implement and test your work. You'll also gain valued transferable skills, such as presenting, writing, discussion and team work.

MEng Awards are integrated masters programmes which are treated for funding purposes as undergraduate degrees. The additional study involved in an MEng Award in comparison with a BEng Honours award aims to provide the opportunity to develop the potential to be a leader in the engineering profession and within the engineering industry. Learners will be able to deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively, make sound judgements in the absence of complete data, and communicate their conclusions clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences. At the same time, greater subject specialism is allowed for by providing further study of the chosen engineering discipline and broadening can be achieved through application across wider disciplines and through a final year group project at Level 7. Opportunities exist for our graduates to work with suppliers, manufacturers and specialist enterprises in the automotive and motorsport sectors. Graduates from Staffordshire have gone on to work for companies such as Bentley, Ford, Jaguar and JCB
