Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons)

Why choose this course
Run by internationally recognised academics, our BEng and MEng Automotive Engineering courses will give you the expertise needed to become a professional engineer in the automotive industry, or equally provide you with the skillset to take up a career in motorsport.

Students will have access to industry-standard software and equipment, and the prestigious Formula Student competition is a central part of the course. You may also choose to take a Professional Training placement at major companies such as McLaren, Williams F1 and Rolls-Royce.

90 per cent of Surrey’s automotive engineering graduates are in a professional or managerial job within six months (Unistats).

What you will study
Our unique course explores new and emerging sustainable automotive technologies (such as electric vehicles). Throughout your course, you’ll learn to use state-of-the-art tools for vehicle analysis and development such as computer-aided design, finite element, fluid dynamics and vehicle dynamics software.

You’ll also participate in Formula Student – Europe’s most established student motorsport competition. This is a valuable opportunity to apply your knowledge and gain hands-on experience.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng (Master of Engineering). The MEng builds on the BEng course with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Find out more about the benefits of an integrated masters degree.
