Equipping students with the knowledge and skills to form a career in the Automotive industry underpins everything that we do. Supported by industry standard equipment and world class facilities, we aim to provide a state-of-the-art learning and teaching environment for our students.

We have extensive laboratories and facilities, including:

• Wind tunnels
• Anechoic chamber
• Indoor UAV testing
• Structures testing facilities
• Gas-turbine engines
• Eight purpose-built automotive engine test cells
• Hawk aircraft
• 6-axis degree of freedom road and aircraft simulator
• Hub dynamometer
• High and low temperature fuel cell testing facilities
• Numerous instrumented test vehicles.

Students will also have access to STEMLab, a state-of-the-art laboratory facility that forms part of a wider £25M investment in the West Park of our campus. It includes an adjacent student learning and teaching hub and offers new ways to learn and collaborate, with a ‘drop-in’ engineering workshop, teaching laboratories, workshops, computer-aided design and rapid prototyping facilities, a design studio and informal learning spaces. These enhanced facilities further increase our ability to train and develop skilled graduates that are targeted by major employers from across the world.

Students can also make use of the Eccleston Student Engineering Centre, which is home to various extra-curricular clubs, such as Formula Student.
