About this course
BEng (Hons) in Automotive Engineering, a robotics engineering degree focused on the design, analysis, and development of modern vehicle systems. Core topics include Programming, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, and Engineering Design. The course is available as a three-year full-time study route or a four-year option incorporating an industrial placement year. The first year covers fundamental principles through Engineering Design and Manufacture, Mathematics for Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, Materials and Structures, Thermofluids, Computing, Vehicle Systems and Development, and Engineering Mechanics and Structures. The second year progresses into specialised study via Incompressible Aerodynamics, Electronics, Sensors and Instrumentation, Dynamics, Vibration & Control, Sustainable Vehicle Systems, Vehicle Structural Design, Engineering Analysis and Optimisation, and Vehicle Loading and Suspensions. In the final year, students complete the BEng Project and Concept Vehicle Definition alongside optional modules. These optional modules allow specialisation in areas such as Noise Control, Principles of Composite Materials & Structures, Vehicle Dynamics and Simulation, Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, Sensor Fusion for Intelligent Vehicles, Finite Element Methods, Ground Vehicle Aerodynamics, Crashworthiness, Machine Intelligence, Battery Technology, or a University Wide Language Programme.
