Motorsport Engineering with Sandwich placement (Hons) University of Wolverhampton

Overview

At the Motorsport Engineering with Sandwich placement (Hons) programme from University of Wolverhampton the modules range from track-side and creative to relevant technical modules which give the basis for technical study, such as mathematics, science, thermodynamics and liquid mechanics. Contextualisation of all course content ensures the maximum industrial relevance along with pace being kept to extremely fast moving and often restricted industrial technologies.

Virtual technologies feature heavily in the course, as a valuable industrial tool to reduce lead times in the conceptualisation of prototype vehicles, it is an essential aspect of the modern engineer, the basics of solid modelling (3D CAD) are taught initially and used to develop designs, leading into the use of FEA (finite element analysis) and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to assess various designs and prototypes.

Career:

Motorsport engineering graduates go on to work in industry as research and development engineers, race vehicle designers with major manufacturers, test engineers, technical representatives and/or managers, within engineering consultancies, teams or manufacturers. Graduates may also study for a taught postgraduate degree, MSc, or a research degree, MPhil/PhD, within the School.
