Automotive Engineering

Vehicles are changing as propulsion moves from combustion towards hybrid and fully electric systems. This MSc develops the ability to create, examine and refine whole vehicles with better safety, efficiency and environmental credentials. It covers vehicle architecture, driveline, dynamics, aerodynamics, structures and electronic control. The course suits engineers who want to specialise in whole-vehicle thinking. Learners weigh competing powertrain and electrification options against real engineering constraints, and judge greener vehicle concepts. Assessment combines taught modules, a group project and an individual research project. Study is full-time over one year. Students learn to reason about trade-offs between performance, cost and environmental impact. Graduates work in vehicle design, powertrain electrification, systems integration, chassis engineering and automotive research. Graduates can progress into senior technical roles within vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
