Course overview

This programme is all about designing and building vehicles that are kinder to the environment, and this requires a practical approach, in making vehicles from the beginning.

 

This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which helps students meet part of the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Students will work on real projects and engineering competitions, such as the IMechE Formula Student team, to test their skills in a real-world setting.

 

Students learn using theory and practical activities, such as lectures, tutorials, and computer simulations and are assessed through coursework, practical assessments, and examinations. Students have the option of a one-year work placement to gain professional experience.
