Programme Design

The Motorsport Engineering Programme will develop your skills and knowledge in technical and innovative applications, within the Motorsport Engineering Industry. The successful utilisation of the latest technology will require a broad understanding of issues associated with today's competitive industry. You will develop engineering skills at a high level of competence which could be transferred to a wide range of other industries.

On completion of the programme at Honours Level you will have developed an understanding of a complex body of knowledge. Through this, you will have developed analytical techniques and problem-solving skills that can be applied in many types of employment and be able to evaluate evidence, arguments and assumptions, to reach sound judgments, and to communicate effectively.

As an Honours graduate you will have the qualities needed for employment in situations requiring the exercise of personal responsibility, and decision-making in complex and unpredictable circumstances.
