Specialise in vehicle design, performance, analysis and systems. Develop the engineering skills for a career in automotive and motorsport industries.

Our course is for engineers who want to apply fundamental mechanical engineering knowledge to the challenges of the automotive industry including areas such as cost, emissions, performance and materials.

The first two years of study introduce you to core mechanical engineering principles to give you a strong foundation in the subject. Using physical science, mathematics and computing, you'll learn how to analyse engineering systems. You’ll study vehicle design, manufacturing processes and component analysis in the context of the automotive market. A range of specialist units in your final year allow you to choose where you want to advance your knowledge.

At Bath, project work is central to your study experience. Being able to take your theoretical learning and apply it practically gives you the skills you’ll need as a professional engineer. Group and individual projects are a chance for you to use your knowledge, initiative and creativity to solve complex engineering problems. You could join our award-winning Formula student team, Team Bath Racing. As part of the team, you'll contribute to the design and build of a single-seat racing car and enter in the annual International Formula Student competition.The balance of technical, teamwork and enterprise management skills you develop will prepare you for the workplace.

Studying an MEng degree gives you an in-depth study experience through advanced taught units and project work, and it fulfils the educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer.

We also offer this course with a placement year, giving you the opportunity to gain work experience as part of your degree.

You have the flexibility to transfer to any of our five mechanical engineering degrees, as well as decide whether you want to go on placement, up to the end of your second year.
