Programme specification:
The information on this page is accurate for students entering the programme from September 2024. For students who entered the programme before September 2024, you can find the details of your programme: MEng, BEng Automotive Engineering
The programme will give students the ability to:
1. understand the basic principles of automotive mechanics, control, structures and design;
2. apply these underlying principles together with critical, analytical and practical skills to problem solving in Automotive Engineering;
3. understand issues of engineering business matters such as: finance, law, marketing, cost, risk and management;
4. understand the responsibilities of an engineer to society and to deal with issues such as the environment and health and safety;
5. be exposed to industrial seminars and visits;
6. develop independent study, practical, team working and communication skills;
7. be prepared for employment within the Automotive Engineering arena, or to study for a postgraduate degree in Engineering and to obtain accreditation as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
8. critically and creatively evaluate current issues, research and advanced scholarship in Automotive Engineering;
Additionally, we offer exciting opportunities like studying abroad and industrial work placements to ensure you have the best grounding to head out into the professional world.
