This course, the only one of its kind in Scotland, has a strong focus on high performance engineering and prepares you for employment as an engineer or designer in the motor and motorsport industry. Course content Motorsport engineers design, build and test racing cars and bikes. Courses in automotive and motorsport engineering have been delivered at Hamilton Campus since 1984, and this course will develop your practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. You’ll work on two racing cars, preparing them for test sessions and working as a team to improve their performance in test sessions at a real racing circuit.

You will develop the capabilities of a mechanical design engineer, with highly transferable skills. Our graduates find employment in many sectors of engineering, including the motor and motorsports industry. Gaining employment in the motorsports industry is highly competitive and we encourage students to become involved with the sport as early as possible and advise students where and how to go about seeking out voluntary opportunities within the sport.
