Year 1 (Level 6)
To develop your understanding of past, current, and future developments and technologies, you will learn about mechanical sciences, manufacturing principles, properties of materials, systems and control, and business management. We will cover the key mathematical principles that underpin motorsport design and management, and apply these to analyse and solve complex engineering problems.
You will study and apply broader engineering disciplines including renewable energy engineering and/or systems and control engineering and/or mechanical manufacturing and processes.
