Design, build and race your own Formula Student car
Join Formula Student, one of the most exciting opportunities of your degree. You’ll design and build an electric racing car with a team of fellow students, then compete against universities from across Europe at Silverstone.
From your first year, you can help build the car, secure sponsorship, or develop commercial and project management skills. It’s an incredible way to apply your engineering knowledge, gain valuable experience, and test your ideas in a real-world, competitive environment.
Develop your skills through hands-on learning
Practical experience is central to this degree. At the world-class Horiba MIRA proving ground, you’ll analyse vehicle handling and braking, explore off-road dynamics, assess noise levels, and study driving performance in different conditions. These sessions help you prepare for professional roles in automotive design, testing, and engineering innovation while giving you confidence to solve real engineering challenges.
Prepare for the future of automotive engineering
Our Automotive Engineering degree gives you the knowledge and skills to succeed in a fast-changing industry. From day one, you’ll study core engineering principles alongside specialist areas such as vehicle design and automotive systems. As you progress, you’ll explore technologies shaping the future of transport, including battery and sensor innovation and machine learning, all integrated into your later study.
Learn from experts driving real-world research
You’ll learn from international specialists whose research and industry links keep your course content relevant and up to date. Their expertise in ground transport and vehicle technology gives you insight into the latest developments across the automotive sector and beyond.
