Get set for a thrilling career working on some of the most technically-advanced vehicles in the world, at the highest level in motorsports and engineering, with our MEng in Motorsports Engineering.
You’ll develop skills in design and development processes through a combination of year-long modules, masterclasses, and short courses; and build a race car.
Engineering science, including engineering analysis, mechanics, and fluid dynamics, underpin much of the design and manufacturing activities on the course.
Our MEng course extends the BEng course, deepening and embedding your investigative and design skills through additional group and individual projects.
This course is absolutely focused on delivering top flight racing and engineering professionals. Plus, you’ll benefit from our new £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre (EIC).
Why study with us
- Engineering at the University is ranked in the UK's top 20 (Complete University Guide, 2020).
- Through projects, you’ll gain real engineering experiences, and skills like presenting, time and project management.
- 95% of our students were satisfied with the learning resources available to them (National Student Survey, 2020).
What you'll do
- You’ll work on personal and team projects to understand the design-development-manufacture cycle and the strategies associated with developing vehicles and products.
- You'll get to work in our dedicated workshop catering for Formula Student, Formula Ford race cars, eco-marathon cars, and a race car simulator.
- You’ll travel to internationally renowned events, including Formula Student and the Shell Eco-Marathon, building up great contacts. People from industry, current and former students will also get to see your work when you present it at our Engineering Expo event.

We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
Future careers
There is huge demand for engineering graduates, and a MEng in Motorsports Engineering gives you lots of options. If you complete a placement you’ll be even more employable.
As well as going into motorsport, you could work in in aerospace, the automotive industry, the Ministry of Defence and in research development.
Graduates from this course are currently working at companies like Mercedes AMG Motorsport, Williams F1, Force India F1, Tom Tunstall Racing, M-Sport, Ginetta, and Century Motorsport.
If you’re looking beyond the motorsports industry, our graduates can be found at Jaguar Land Rover, Bentley Motors, Airbus, BAE Systems, Babcock, Tata Technologies, Helical Technologies, MI Technology, and United Utilities.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
