Automotive Engineering (with Foundation Year) BEng(Hons) at University of West of England

The automotive industry is set for global growth over the next decade.

Environmental challenges mean new vehicles must be cleaner and more efficient, while urbanisation is driving a need for better transport solutions.

This will create demand for professionals with knowledge and skills in automotive design and manufacture. And if you're always asking questions, exploring different alternatives, and thinking creatively - then you're just who we're looking for.

BEng(Hons) Automotive Engineering gives you a strong grounding in mathematics, design, manufacturing and mechanical engineering.

Discover how engineering will challenge you and change the way you learn. You'll tackle real world issues through live projects, and be encouraged to take risks as you develop solutions in our state-of-the art labs.

Study automotive manufacturing, engine systems, vehicle dynamics, materials, structures and safety. Gain hands-on experience, testing designs for automotive projects using our facilities.

From 2020, you'll be taught in our new multi-million pound Engineering building. Featuring engine test cells, wind tunnels and dedicated learning spaces, it's purpose-built to support a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Investigate an engineering problem that interests you, while developing engineering, project management and report writing skills.

Complete work placements in areas like product development, vehicle dynamics and design, and manufacturing. Compete with our multi-disciplinary team UWE Formula Student, which regularly succeeds at the annual Formula Student competition.

With opportunities at some of the biggest names in engineering on your doorstep, you'll be able to increase your employability - and find the engineer you are.
