COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Motorsport Engineering develops advanced technical expertise in the design, analysis, and optimisation of high-performance racing vehicles. The program combines theory, simulation, and practical engineering to prepare students for specialist roles in the motorsport industry. Key modules include Composite Design and Impact Modelling, which explores how materials and components behave under high-impact conditions, particularly in racing environments. Advanced Vehicle Aerodynamics focuses on designing body shapes and aerodynamic systems that improve race car performance and efficiency. Lap Time Simulation and Race Engineering teaches students how to use professional simulation tools, data acquisition, telemetry, and race strategy analysis to evaluate and enhance vehicle performance. Engineering Business Management develops essential leadership and organisational skills relevant to engineering industries. Advanced Vehicle Dynamics provides a deep understanding of suspension systems, optimisation techniques, and performance modelling using advanced software and testing facilities. Electric Vehicles examines modern propulsion systems, including modelling and control of electric and hybrid vehicle architectures. The program concludes with a substantial MSc Dissertation, where students specialise in a chosen area of motorsport engineering through an independent research or industry-linked project, often in collaboration with major companies such as McLaren or AVL. Overall, the course equips graduates with cutting-edge technical knowledge, analytical skills, and industry experience needed for careers in competitive motorsport and advanced automotive engineering.
