Performance Car Technology (4 years including foundation year)

• This is a fully accredited course, it will allow you to get a Chartered Engineer status.
• We have several Industry links: Toyota and Polybush are just some of the companies we currently work closely with
• You will access a specialist motorsport workshop as well as an industry standard production workshop to gain experience of using machinery.
• You will be given an access to various projects (projects are changing at all times – subjected to changes - currently Glyndwr Racing Alfa 159, MX5 racecar, Westfield amongst many others). Students are also currently running a Formula Student team.
• You will have a personal supervisor to oversee your academic progress and your personal welfare.

Year 1 is the starting point of your journey to become an accredited engineer! The vast majority of the key knowledge is reviewed and expanded at this stage. All lectures are followed by tutorials and practicals/demonstrations to ensure that you have fully assimilated the information.

• Mechanical Science
• Electrical Science
• Laboratory Methods and Materials
• Engineering Mathematics
• Introduction to Engineering Design & Practice

Plus an optional module from the following:

• Performance Car Systems
• Mechanical Systems

At this level, the teaching team starts to encourage the students to work and learn by themselves. We are not only preparing you to be a knowledgeable practitioner, we are preparing you to become a reliable and independent problem solver.

• Business & Research Development
• Internal Combustion Engine: Theory and Technology
• Automotive Design
• Further Engineering Mathematics
• Engineering and Mechanism Dynamics & Engineering Design
• Structures, Failure Analysis & FEA

This is the final year of the Bachelor degree. The first semester is generally focussing on developing the specific automotive knowledge. Your individual project will allow you to specialise further into a field of your choice. At the end of this, you will be a graduate engineer ready for industry!

• Performance Car Chassis, Engines & Powertrain
• Vibration Analysis & Structures
• Aerodynamics & CFD
• Employability & Entrepreneurship
• Final year project (individual dissertation)
