Programme Design

As one of the first degrees of its kind, this programme will enable students to develop the specific expertise required in such areas as data acquisition and motorcycle dynamics for the design and development of the modern road and competition motorcycle. Students from this programme have been involved with race teams from championships such as British Superbike and MotoGP, and Swansea Metropolitan University has excellent contacts in this growing industry. Graduate destinations include Yamaha Tech 3 Moto GP and Rizla Suzuki.

The BEng Motorsport Engineering and Design, the BEng Automotive Engineering 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.
