Recent reports show how vital the automotive sector is to a prosperous UK economy with its contribution reaching over £20 billion. Last year, the manufacturing sector turned over a record-breaking £82 billion, marking the automotive industry as the UK’s largest manufacturing export sector. This is due to the hands of its 814,000 employees, and reports state that up to 28,000 new jobs will have to be fulfilled by 2020.
This honours degree has been designed for the automotive industry in response to the shortfall of mechanical engineers. It is for those who have a strong interest in mechanical engineering and a clear desire to develop their knowledge and skills in automotive engineering.
The course fully explores the engineering, design, analysis and development of modern cars using various race cars as support for teaching. It also puts emphasis on learning transferable skills applicable to many other industries.
YEAR 1 (LEVEL 4)
The vast majority of the key knowledge is reviewed and expanded at this stage. All lectures are followed by tutorials and practicals/demonstrations to ensure that you have fully assimilated the information.
MODULES
- Mechanical Science
- Electrical Science
- Materials and Manufacturing
- Engineering Mathematics
- Engineering Design and Practice
- Automotive Systems
YEAR 2 (LEVEL 5)
At this level, the teaching team starts to encourage the students to work and learn by themselves. We are not only preparing you to be a knowledgeable practitioner, but we are also preparing you to become a reliable and independent problem solver.
MODULES
- Business, Research & Professional Development
- Automotive Design
- Further Engineering Mathematics
- Engineering Mechanics & Design
- Structures Analysis
- Internal Combustion Engine Systems
YEAR 3 (LEVEL 6)
This is the final year of the Bachelor degree. The first semester is generally focussing on developing the specific automotive knowledge. Your individual project will allow you to specialise further into a field of your choice. At the end of this, you will be a graduate engineer ready for the industry!
MODULES
- Dissertation (Honours)
- Engineering Modelling and Simulation
- Aerodynamics
- Automotive Dynamics & Powertrain Analysis
Optional
- Structural Vibration Analysis
- Composite Materials
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.
