Automotive Engineering

About this course

Automotive engineering focuses on the design, development and manufacture of road vehicles and the systems they incorporate. It is one of the most dynamic branches of mechanical engineering, combining classical engineering disciplines with cutting-edge work in electrification, autonomous systems, aerodynamics, lightweight materials and increasingly sophisticated software and control systems. The automotive industry is in the middle of its most significant transformation in a century, driven by decarbonisation, digitalisation and the shift toward electric and hybrid powertrains, and engineers with current, relevant skills are in strong demand. At the University of the West of England, Bristol, this four-year full-time degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and includes a sandwich year placement, which gives you substantial professional experience in the automotiv
