**Specialise in advanced propulsion systems and develop the skills to make an impact on the future of vehicle engineering.**<br/><br/>Our master’s takes your automotive engineering knowledge to the next level. It focuses on propulsion systems to prepare you for working in a dynamic and changing industry. You’ll develop systems-thinking approaches to understand the breadth of challenges faced in the sector such as moral, ethical and sustainability.<br/><br/>Well set a topical automotive theme at the start of the course that will inform your group projects and dissertation. This brings the content of subject-based units to life as well as reflecting professional practice in industry. It also gives you the benefit of a personalised learning pathway.<br/><br/>You’ll explore the impact of applications and technologies, analysing past failures and predicting future challenges and successes. A mix of theory and technical learning allows you to use your analytical skills, innovation and creativity. We also make sure your group project and dissertation are aligned to the UNs sustainable development goals. This is so that your learning experience is relevant to the ongoing developments and future of the automotive sector.<br/><br/>To help prepare you to work in an increasingly digital-based industry, you’ll develop specialist skills in modelling, testing and product development. And you’ll learn how simulation and testing go hand-in-hand to enable rapid product development cycles that help us to achieve zero-impact mobility.<br/><br/>**Learn from experts in the field**<br/>You’ll learn from academics active in researching the latest in automotive engineering. They transfer this research knowledge to your learning experience so youll get the benefit of their expertise. We also have good links with industry around the world, and invite guest speakers to share their knowledge and experience with you.<br/><br/>**Use specialist facilities**<br/>Throughout the course, youll attend laboratory sessions run on our bespoke facilities that demonstrate the principles of current and future vehicles. To support your research project activities, youll be able to draw on the staff and facilities of our Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS).<br/><br/>**From course to career**<br/>Our students go on to work in engineering and specialist technical roles in the automotive industry. They are likely to work in roles that use skills in product design, development and innovation. These can be found at vehicle manufacturers, tier 1 suppliers, SMEs and consultancies. Our past graduates have secured jobs as:<br/><br/><br/>- Calibration engineer, Ford Motor Company Ltd<br/><br/><br/>- Product engineer, Renault<br/><br/><br/>- Engineering consultant, DAppolonia<br/>
