This course provides a firm grounding in materials but is particularly focused on those materials relevant to automotive engineering. Students benefit from the strong relationships we have with major automotive companies, where materials are key to the development of future generations of vehicles.
Year 1
Areas studied include experimental and computational modules, materials processing, design and applications and mathematics. All materials courses have a common first year, in which students study the foundations of materials.
Year 2
Areas studied include vehicle design and development, vehicle loading, machine elements, materials processing and characterisation, fracture mechanics, the behaviour of materials in service, mathematics and statistics.
Optional placement/study abroad year
Optional professional placement and/or overseas study.
Year 3
Areas studied include vehicle and component design, crash protection, and optional modules in entrepreneurship, languages and nanomaterials, among others. You will also carry out an in-depth research project.
Year 4 (MEng only)
Areas studied include vehicle engine analysis, materials characterisation and modelling, energy materials, and a substantial design project.
Graduate destinations
Aston Martin, Bentley, Bosch, Federal Mogul, Jaguar Land Rover, JCB, Nissan and Plastic Omnium. *Diploma in Industrial/Professional/International Studies
