Course content

Originally created with Ford Motor Company and Jaguar Land Rover, our Automotive Engineering MSc will provide you with the knowledge and technical expertise for a career in the fast-paced automotive sector. You'll specialise in subjects that are relevant to a rapidly changing industry and the future of ground transportation to provide you with solid expertise for your future career.

The programme will build on your existing engineering skills and enhance your understanding of the latest automotive technologies, including the development of the next generation of vehicles that feature new hardware, software, autonomy and electrification. Practical activities are integral to our course, for example, by spending time at HORIBA MIRA proving ground you'll learn how to collect and analyse vehicle handling, off-road dynamics, noise measurement, braking performance and wet weather driving data.

We have a strong and growing research programme with world-class activities and facilities. Our research topics include the development of new design methodologies for hybrid powertrains, vehicle electrification and autonomy, virtual vehicle integration and development and vehicle aerodynamics simulation and testing. In your project modules, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to these research areas.
