Automotive Engineering

About this course

Automotive engineering is the branch of mechanical and electronic engineering devoted to the design, development, manufacture, and testing of road vehicles. It is a field undergoing profound change, with the shift towards electric powertrains, autonomous driving systems, and connected vehicle technology reshaping what automotive engineers need to know and what the industry expects from them. At the same time, the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics, structural design, and powertrain performance remain essential, and graduates need both the classical engineering knowledge and the awareness of emerging technologies to contribute effectively to the sector. At the University of Brighton, this four-year programme combines a thorough grounding in mechanical engineering principles with specific focus on their application to vehicles. You will study thermodynamics, materials, dynamics, and electro
