Performance Car Technology (MEng)

• This is a fully accredited master degree.
• 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 moment where you start being closer to the real world, your industrial placement will not only help you to get the reality of the daily job of a qualified engineer, it will also ensure that you get specific knowledge in line with the field of activity that your host company is dealing with.

In semester 1, you will also have the opportunity to develop specific automotive knowledge essential to become a valuable automotive engineer.

• Performance Car Chassis, Engines & Powertrain
• Vibration Analysis & Structures
• Aerodynamics & CFD
• Industrial Placement

The final leg of your academic journey starts here. The aim of these 2 semesters is to complement your knowledge and experience in order to move smoothly into industry. Many industrial aspects are developed to ensure that you will have the industrial career that you deserve.

• Advanced Engineering Design & Analysis
• Advanced Performance Car Dynamics & Control
• Employability & Entrepreneurship
• Group Design Project

An optional module from the following:

• Advanced Materials
• Advanced Production & Assembly
