Are you interested in the fast-paced world of motorsport and want to build a career in the motorsport engineering industry? Our Motorsport Engineering degree with Foundation Year is designed to provide a strong foundation in mechanical engineering aspects and the latest technologies used in the field. This course focuses on solving practical engineering problems and developing your skills as a design engineer who can work effectively in teams.The course is centred around high-performance racing vehicles, teaching you about ride and handling requirements, as well as powertrain performance and efficiency. You will use industry-standard tools like Computer-Aided Design, Data Acquisition, and advanced simulation software such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). These tools are crucial for designing and refining vehicle components.You’ll explore specialised areas including advanced engine design, powertrain design, vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, and electrical control. Working on independent and group projects will deepen your understanding of these topics, giving you valuable practical experience. This hands-on approach prepares you for a career in the automotive and motorsport sectors, where the skills you learn can be applied to real-life Motorsport applications.Environmental awareness is integrated into our curriculum, helping you learn about sustainable design and technology. This knowledge is increasingly important in the industry and opens up various job opportunities, particularly as the industry moves towards electric vehicles and sustainable technologies.Students will also benefit from extracurricular activities that let them apply their knowledge to practical challenges, further enhancing their readiness for the workplace. The course provides comprehensive training in areas such as performance engineering, automotive and race car design, and electric vehicle technology.Our programme is designed to help you succeed in both the local and global motorsport industry. Graduates often find rewarding careers in various fields related to motorsport engineering, including roles that focus on the development and testing of electric vehicles.The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.
