Students can advance their skills so they can design and work with the fast-moving technologies of the automotive industry.
This degree is built on core studies in mechanical engineering, with a specialization in automotive engineering to develop economical and sustainable automotive designs or solve modern transport problems such as electrification and automation.
Students will study vehicle power systems, vehicle noise and vibration, vehicle handling and control, sustainable vehicle design, automotive manufacturing, vehicle aerodynamics, and autonomous vehicles.
The degree incorporates complete car design with a focus on new technologies that benefit society such as driverless cars, full-electric, hybrid power trains and fuel cells. It takes a global view and is increasingly environmental in outlook.
The emphasis will be on hands-on learning, with students' work largely laboratory-based, where they will conduct experiments and design their own projects.
With the opportunity to undertake industry placements either locally or internationally, students will be work-ready when they graduate. There are also opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
