Note:
I've combined the information from both of your requests into this single, comprehensive response.
Degree Overview:
This MEng/BEng program helps graduates make significant contributions within the vital automotive industry by leveraging their passion for cars and enthusiasm for design and engineering, alongside strong maths and IT expertise. Students can choose between an MEng or a BEng degree path. The MEng route provides a deeper understanding, allowing graduates to pursue leadership positions in developing new technologies and designing future vehicles. This program aims to equip students with a thorough understanding of automotive engineering, develop essential knowledge, skills, and expertise for the engineering sector. It also aims to enhance intellectual and personal skills, allowing students to conduct practical research studies and potentially publish findings. This program also offers a January intake option, which condenses the first-year curriculum.
Outline:
Common First Year
- Mechanical Science
- Manufacturing Technology and Materials
- Engineering Design
