The MSc course in Autosport Engineering covers the latest state of the art computer based analysis and design techniques used in the automotive industry. The course has been developed in conjunction with the Automotive Industry and will provide the graduate with an indepth insight into the key technological areas that are driving automotive engineering design. Students gain a deep understanding of the engineering principles that affect all aspects of vehicle performance including engine, suspension and aerodynamics. The course is based around the use of industry standard engineering software and hardware provided by our partners. The student will gain an in depth understanding of PTC CREO, Cambridge Engineering Selector, ANSYS FEA, Cham Phoenics CFD, Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA software and will gain hands on experience of related hardware such as Minolta Vi910 laser scanner, TESA coordinate measuring machine, ZCorporation and Startasys rapid prototyping, KRYLE 3 Axis Machining Centre and Beavor Turning Centre, Lister Petter Diesel engine dyno, Race Technology real time data acquisition. Good laboratory support including a design studio with over 70 Design Workstations, Manufacturing facilities including CNC machining and rapid prototyping systems, and fully equipped automotive workshop. A placement version of this course is also available.

Upon graduation you will be ideally placed to work in an automotive engineering company at a senior level working towards Chartered (CEng) status. The course also gives a good grounding in research techniques which could allow you to continue your personal research interests to PhD level.
