Overview
This programme is based on our heritage of working alongside industry, and from the outset we make use of automotive specific examples in teaching the engineering fundamentals, an approach that differs from many other automotive engineering courses in the UK. The MEng Automotive Engineering (Hons) programme is offered at Loughborough University
Key Facts
Our ongoing exchange of knowledge with industry ensures that our taught courses are immediately relevant to the problems faced by industry, today.
As an automotive engineer, you will make extensive use of your theoretical and analytical skills, but it is also important for you to be able to appreciate the more practical aspects of engineering. Practical activities are integral to our course, for example, by spending a week at HORIBA MIRA proving ground you will learn how to collect and analyse vehicle handling, off-road dynamics, noise measurement, braking performance and wet weather driving data. This and other ‘hands-on’ activities will enable you to put the theory you have learned into practice.
The first two years of the BEng and MEng Automotive Engineering degree share the same format and structure, with a high level of fundamental engineering and automotive specific subjects from day one. The MEng courses differ from the BEng by offering the opportunity to study technical and management topics at a more advanced level, plus the option to study a modern language. The individual project in the final year of the MEng is a more significant piece of work than that of the BEng and may be carried out at an overseas university or in conjunction with an industrial sponsor.
