Duration: Three years full-time, four years sandwich The automotive industry is set for global growth over the next decade. Environmental challenges mean new vehicles must be cleaner and more efficient, and urbanisation is driving a need for better transport solutions. This will lead to increasing demand for professionals with the right knowledge and skills in automotive design and manufacture. On this course you will develop a strong grounding in mathematics, design, manufacturing and mechanical engineering. As you progress, you will study automotive manufacturing, engine systems, vehicle dynamics, materials and structures, and safety. Throughout the course, you will get hands-on experience testing designs for automotive projects using our facilities, which include advanced simulators.

On graduation, you can go into automotive research and development, design, manufacture or a wide range of careers for engineers with strong analytical and problem solving skills. With green transport technologies being a focus of future transport developments, opportunities for eco-minded automotive engineers are predicted to increase.
