Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Sustainability is transforming the automotive sector. Learn the technological skills needed to shape how the future of mobility will look.
Our master's supports you to further your education to specialise in automotive technology. The sector needs to find more sustainable technological solutions for the future of vehicular mobility. And as it evolves, it needs people with the skills to not only keep up with change but also to lead it. Our course helps prepare you for this and covers areas such as advanced propulsion systems, sustainable mobility and innovation.
We’ll introduce you to key scientific principles and give you specialist insight into the subject to help you build on your existing skills. You'll explore the impact of a range of applications and technologies, analysing past failures and predicting future challenges and successes. You’ll develop systems-thinking approaches to understand the breadth of issues faced in the sector such as moral, ethical and sustainability.
Through group projects and a dissertation, you'll explore the application of one or more technologies in depth. You’ll focus on technology roadmapping, supported by holistic assessments such as life-cycle analysis. You'll also study current and future business models, considering how to balance economic growth with impact on society.
Learn from experts in the field
You’ll learn from academics active in researching the latest in automotive engineering. They transfer this research knowledge to your learning experience so you get the benefit of their expertise. We also have good links with industry around the world, and invite guest speakers to share their knowledge and experience with you.
Use specialist facilities
Throughout the course, you'll attend laboratory sessions run on our bespoke facilities that demonstrate the principles of current and future vehicles. You'll also be able to draw on the staff expertise and facilities of our Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS).
You should have a first or strong second-class Bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent.
To apply for this course, you should have an undergraduate degree in mechanical, electrical, civil or chemical engineering, maths, physics, computer science, software engineering, manufacturing engineering, product design, chemistry or natural sciences.
We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years you completed your degree in the UK you may be exempt from our English language requirements.
