Programme Design

First validated in 1996, this programme draws on the experience we have gained over many years in the field of mainstream automotive engineering. Graduates of the programme have worked throughout the industry with companies such as Ford, Jaguar LandRover, Aston Martin and Mahle.

The BEng Automotive Engineering, BEng Motorsport Engineering and Design, and the BEng Motorcycle Engineering programmes all have common themes of Engineering Design and Analysis of Power Train, Chassis and Suspension Systems related to the specific programme being followed. Individual / group projects and subject specific assignment work enable the student to tailor the programme to their own needs and career aspirations.

Entry Requirements

To be read in conjunction with this page

For our BEng degrees, our offers are based on 240 points from numerate or technical A level subjects, to include Maths or Physics at Grade C or above. We will accept a National Diploma, Certificate, two National Awards or the new 14-19 Diploma in Technical subjects, but 60 points of the 240 must come from A level/AS Maths or Physics. Providing you can achieve the points required, two A levels would be sufficient if at grade B with 60 points made up from other qualifications. Generally, we would expect you to achieve the points required from three A levels. We will not accept NVQ Level 3 or Access courses for the above degrees but would for our BSc, HND and Foundation Entry programmes. GCSE Maths at grade C or above is also required.
