BEng Automotive Engineering
Low carbon vehicle technologies are at the cutting edge of innovation within the automotive industry – one of several exciting areas of study for students of this BEng course.
This programme develops the key technical and managerial skills that graduates need to excel within a fast-moving industry, through a curriculum designed to give a good balance between fundamental mechanical engineering subjects (including maths and engineering science) and the applied engineering disciplines (such as vehicle design and performance).
We have one of the largest and most active engine research groups in the UK and strong links with industry to provide a vibrant, commercially-focused environment for our students’ learning.
