Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons)

Studying our Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons) course will equip you with in-depth knowledge and skills in the combined areas of engineering design, vehicle development and new technologies. Upon starting the course, you will discover the Fundamentals of Engineering where you will develop an understanding of scientific principles in maths, physics and chemistry in relation to engineering while also being introduced to an engineering lab environment.
Moreover, you will examine materials and their properties in our Engineering Structure, Materials and Analysis unit. This will enable you to select the right materials for a particular design that meets engineering requirements. Using your knowledge from this unit, you will relate it to our unit in Engineering Design and Manufacture where you will develop the skills to use relevant software for engineering design. Another relevant area of study involves the function of vehicles within engineering. This is where our unit in Vehicle Dynamics and Chassis Technology will introduce you to the components of an automobile, as well as its advantages and disadvantages.
