The MEng Automotive Engineering programme is intended to provide you with a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering science and its application to design and the solution of a range of engineering problems in the context of the automotive industry. Specialist areas of study, including advanced engine design and vehicle dynamics, will enable you to focus on areas of specialist interest that can be developed in the Group and Major Project modules. Within many of the modules the course considers the environmental aspects of design and technology which is transferable to a broad range of employment opportunities. We run a number of extra curricula activities, many of which are related to motorsport but which provide excellent experience for all types of automotive engineering careers that can be linked with your project and assignment work.

Graduates from this course have found employment throughout the automotive industry from specialist component manufacturers though to industry leaders such as Ford and Jaguar LandRover. As the skills developed on the course are transferable to other industries many have moved into the wider engineering industry as well. Each year a number of our graduates have chosen to continue their academic studies to Master's and PhD level.
