Electrical Automotive Engineering MSc

Course Overview

Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles constitute a modern and timely area in engineering, one expected to expand very quickly in the next few years. Climate change and the consequent need to reduce CO2 emissions have progressively led to major advances in many modern developments of power engineering such as in photovoltaics, wind turbines, and biofuels. The next step, which strongly affects our daily lives, is transportation. Electric vehicles minimize pollution whilst increasing power efficiency. Moreover, areas such as autonomous vehicles and smart transportation grids are beginning to become reality. As a result, the Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy Committee has recommended the government develop EV-specific qualifications for mechanics and engineers.

General Eligibility

Applicants would normally be expected to possess a minimum of a 2:2 honors degree in a mechanical or automotive engineering subject, but applications from graduates in electrical and electronic engineering, computer hardware and software engineering, and other related technical subjects such as mathematics or physics, would also be considered.
