Course summary

The Motorsport Engineering programmes are intended to provide you with a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering science and technologies and their application to design and the solution of a range of engineering problems in the context of the motorsport engineering industry. The programmes aim to develop your ability to work with others to apply this work to real-world problems. Your degree will focus on high-performance racing vehicles, in terms of both ride and handling requirements and powertrain performance and efficiency. The course will apply industry-standard tools and processes to investigate vehicle designs. These tools include Computer-Aided Design, Data Acquisition and advanced simulation packages such as Computation Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis. Specialist areas of study include advanced engine design, powertrain design, vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, and electrical control. Independent and group projects allow students to develop these specialisms further. Within many of the modules, the course considers the environmental aspects of design and technology which are transferable to a broad range of employment opportunities. The course is supported by extracurricular opportunities to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt in the modules to real-life Motorsport applications.
