Motorsport Engineering Beng (Hon)

<strong>Ignite your passion for motorsport. Our course blends cutting-edge design, hands-on projects and industry challenges to propel your future in the exhilarating world of high-performance racing.</strong> <br/><br/>Motorsport engineers are involved in every aspect of vehicle design, manufacture and testing. This course is designed to give you a grounding in these areas and other facets of automotive engineering, supported by a strong foundation in core engineering principles. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Industry-aligned learning: </strong>live projects, Formula Student and collaborations with motorsport teams develop practical expertise in aerodynamics, materials and vehicle systems. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Design to manufacturing and beyond</strong>: ideal for aspiring motorsport engineers seeking hands-on experience in high-performance vehicle design, testing and innovation. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Career versatility:</strong> combines motorsport specialisation with mechanical engineering fundamentals, opening doors to automotive, R&D and performance engineering roles. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Why you should study this course</strong> <br/><br/><strong>Industry-ready skills through live projects</strong> <br/>Gain hands-on experience with real-world motorsport challenges, including the IMechE Formula Student competition, where you’ll design, build and test a race car under professional constraints. Competing against university teams from the UK and internationally. <br/><br/><strong>Race Ready facilities and software</strong> <br/>Train in our Mercedes-AMG wind tunnel, 6DoF driving simulator, engine/chassis dynamometers, VR Power Wall, Rapid Prototyping facility and composites labs to build and test vehicles mirroring professional motorsport engineers.<br/><br/><strong>MEng (Master of Engineering) Advanced Pathway</strong> <br/>You can join the MEng in two ways: <br/>- <strong>Direct entry</strong> – apply straight onto the MEng if you meet the higher entry requirements. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Transfer during your studies</strong> – if you start on the BEng and achieve strong results, you may be able to transfer onto the MEng later in your course. <br/><br/><br/>This flexibility means you could progress to the full master’s level qualification (subject to meeting progression requirements). <br/><br/><strong>Optional industrial placements and global experiences</strong> <br/>Boost employability with a year in industry or study abroad, supported by our award-winning placements team. Past students have worked with race teams and automotive firms. Strong industry links boost placement and graduate opportunities.<br/><br/><strong>Networking and industry exposure</strong> <br/>Attend guest lectures (subject to availability), field trips (previous trips include Ford F150 factory, Professional Motorsport World Expo) and events like Autosport International. Free memberships to IMechE and WES included.<br/><br/>Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information.
