Course Overview

The first year of the course provides a foundational grounding in engineering as well as introducing aspects of the vehicle design. From the second year, the focus is more fully on automotive engineering. Modules that are unique to this course include €˜Performance Modelling for Road & Racing Cars, €˜Energy Sources and Storage, and €˜Automotive Design and Analysis. We encourage you to spend a full year in the automotive industry between your second and final years. This BEng (Hons) course will meet part of the academic requirement to be a Chartered Engineer, which is associated with higher salaries. You can meet the requirement in full by studying for an additional year and gaining an MEng (Hons). If you know from the start that youd prefer an MEng, please apply for MEng (Hons) Automotive Engineering instead of this course.
