NOTE Are you a student from outside the EU?
If you are an International student we have designed a version of this award especially for you! It is called the Extended International Master in Automotive Engineering. It includes an extra semester of preliminary study to prepare you for postgraduate learning in the UK. We strongly recommend that all international students take this option as it is proven to improve your chances of success. Take a look at this alternative course here.
The MSc course in Autosport Engineering covers the latest state of the art computer based analysis and design techniques used in the automotive industry. The course has been developed in conjunction with the Automotive Industry and will provide the graduate with an in-depth insight into the key technological areas that are driving automotive engineering design.
Students gain a deep understanding of the engineering principles that affect all aspects of vehicle performance including engine, suspension and aerodynamics. The course is based around the use of industry standard engineering software and hardware provided by our partners. The student will gain an in depth understanding of PTC CREO, Cambridge Engineering Selector, ANSYS FEA, Cham Phoenics CFD, Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA software and will gain hands on experience of related hardware such as Minolta Vi910 laser scanner, TESA coordinate measuring machine, ZCorporation and Startasys rapid prototyping, KRYLE 3 Axis Machining Centre and Beavor Turning Centre, Lister Petter Diesel engine dyno, Race Technology real time data acquisition.
Good laboratory support including a design studio with over 70 Design Workstations, Manufacturing facilities including CNC machining and rapid prototyping systems, and fully equipped automotive workshop. A placement version of this course is also available.

Course programme
The course consists of 8 taught modules plus a major personal project leading to a written thesis. The taught modules cover the broad range of activities involved in vehicle design. You will study topics such as solid and surface modelling, rapid prototyping, Finite Element Analysis, advanced engine design and aerodynamics. The subject area of your final thesis can be selected to suit your own aspirations and interests. You will be assigned a supervisor with whom you will work closely to develop an academically challenging portfolio of work. The focus of this project will determine whether you will opt for the title of MSc Automotive or MSc Autosport.
