Motorsport Engineering

About this course

Motorsport engineering is an engineering discipline applied to one of the most technically demanding and competitively intense fields in the world. It encompasses the design, analysis, and development of racing vehicles, drawing on mechanical engineering, aerodynamics, materials science, electronics, and data analysis to extract the maximum performance from systems that must be both technically sophisticated and extraordinarily reliable under extreme conditions. The motorsport industry is a major employer of engineering graduates and a hotbed of technical innovation, and many technologies developed for racing eventually find their way into road vehicles and other industries. At the University of Derby, this three-year programme approaches motorsport engineering from a broad engineering foundation, ensuring you have the multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge that employers across the se
