Automotive & Transport Design at University for the Creative Arts - UCAS

Course summary

Our BSc (Hons) Automotive & Transport Design degree course at UCA Canterbury is an exciting course that focuses on exploring the future of personal and mass transit, and developing solutions that can meet the climate, social, and political challenges of the future. We’ll ask you to reconsider everything you think you know about transport. As you begin to design and develop your ideas, you’ll also learn to prototype and test in real and virtual space, using technology including our motion capture suite to explore capacity, ergonomics, and qualitative testing. On top of design considerations, you’ll also learn about societal and environmental impacts, policies, implementations, operating expenses, sustainability, and many other factors that shape approaches to transport design.
