The Brunel Automotive Engineering BEng gives students with a passion for motor vehicles the specialised expertise they need to become professional engineers in the fast-moving automotive industry. Along with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, including maths, engineering science and design, youll gain an in-depth knowledge of the technical workings of current and future automotive systems. Youll study all aspects of automotive development and manufacture from vehicle design and performance to engine and transmission systems to materials, structures and safety. Youll also get hands-on practice troubleshooting engineering problems that inevitably arise during the construction and testing processes. Our automotive engineering BEng course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). We offer two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time with a one-year professional placement that will allow to put what youve learned to use in real-world situations. If you start on the full-time course, you can transfer to the professional development option, which includes the placement, at any time before the end of Level 2.Careers and your futureIf you opt for a sandwich course, youll go on a years paid placement and put your theory into practice. Some of our students are offered jobs at the companies where they carried out their industrial placements.Your automotive engineering degree from Brunel is highly regarded. Many of our graduates now work in technical and managerial positions within the automotive industry. Recent destinations include Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin, McLaren Automotive, Ricardo, Nissan Technical Centre Europe, Bentley Motors, Ford, BMW (Mini), Lotus Cars, Tata Motors, BP, MAHLE Powertrain, Cummins, JCB, Perkins and Delphi.
