MSc Automotive Engineering with Electric Propulsion

  • DeadlineStudy Details: MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

Specialise in advanced propulsion systems and develop the skills to make an impact on the future of vehicle engineering.

Our master’s takes your automotive engineering knowledge to the next level. It focuses on propulsion systems to prepare you for working in a dynamic and changing industry. You’ll develop systems-thinking approaches to understand the breadth of challenges faced in the sector such as moral, ethical and sustainability.

We'll set a topical automotive theme at the start of the course that will inform your group projects and dissertation. This brings the content of subject-based units to life as well as reflecting professional practice in industry. It also gives you the benefit of a personalised learning pathway.

You’ll explore the impact of applications and technologies, analysing past failures and predicting future challenges and successes. A mix of theory and technical learning allows you to use your analytical skills, innovation and creativity. We also make sure your group project and dissertation are aligned to the UN's sustainable development goals. This is so that your learning experience is relevant to the ongoing developments and future of the automotive sector.

To help prepare you to work in an increasingly digital-based industry, you’ll develop specialist skills in modelling, testing and product development. And you’ll learn how simulation and testing go hand-in-hand to enable rapid product development cycles that help us to achieve zero-impact mobility.

Entry Requirements
