Automotive companies are focusing on developing new materials to keep up with policies and increased demand. This means there is a need for increased fuel efficiency and lighter vehicles, to meet new environmental regulations alongside delivering superior value to customers.Automotive Materials is therefore an increasingly important area of study as the industry operates to meet changing needs. The fabric that our vehicles are made of needs to reflect this. As well as maintaining appearance, functionality and safety aspects, all whilst keeping costs to the customer down.Our Automotive Materials degree combines the core elements of materials engineering with specific training of relevance to the automotive industry. Selected modules are taught in conjunction with the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering.This course will give you the opportunity to explore and deepen your knowledge and understanding of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of automotive materials, their structure, properties, processing, and in-service behaviour.
