Type
Master
-
Duration
4 Years
Our course is for engineers who want to apply fundamental mechanical engineering knowledge to the challenges of the automotive industry including areas such as cost, emissions, performance and materials.
Your first two years of study introduce you to the foundations of mechanical engineering to support yout understanding of the subject. Using physical science, mathematics and computing, you'll learn how to assess engineering systems. You’ll study vehicle design, manufacturing processes and component analysis in the context of the automotive market. A range of specialist units in your final year allow you to choose where you want to advance your knowledge.
At Bath, project work is central to your study experience. Being able to take your theoretical learning and apply it practically gives you the skills you’ll need as a professional engineer. Group and individual projects are a chance for you to use your knowledge, initiative and creativity to solve complex engineering problems. You could join our award-winning Formula student team, Team Bath Racing. As part of the team, you'll contribute to the design and build of a single-seat racing car and enter in the annual International Formula Student competition.The balance of technical, teamwork and enterprise management skills you develop will prepare you for the workplace.
About this course
Specialise in vehicle design, performance, analysis and systems. Develop the engineering skills for a career in automotive and motorsport industries.
Our graduates have many skills that make them attractive to prospective employers, including teamwork, problem solving, creativity and numeracy. They hold specialist and managerial roles in high technology industries in engineering and manufacturing. Many of our graduates continue their studies with us or at other universities to pursue academic and research careers.
You will need a strong performance in both Mathematics and Physics or Engineering as part of your entry qualifications. If you are taking qualifications including a mixture of subjects (such as A levels) we prefer either a relevant subject (such as Further Mathematics or Design and Technology) or a traditional subject (such as History).
GCSE English grade C or 4 (or equivalent from English language category C).
Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council, to fully meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
