COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Racing Engine Systems develops advanced expertise in high-performance engine and powertrain engineering with a strong focus on motorsport applications. The program covers a range of specialist modules that combine theory, simulation, and practical design skills. Advanced Powertrain Engineering explores energy flow, system requirements, and modelling techniques used to evaluate driveline and engine performance. Engineering Business Management provides essential knowledge of leadership, project management, and organisational skills within engineering industries. Advanced Strength of Components focuses on fatigue and fracture analysis, helping students understand how mechanical components fail and how to predict their lifespan. Racing Engine Systems – System Integration examines the design and optimisation of complete racing power units, including energy recovery and storage systems, using advanced industry tools. Electric Powertrain Systems introduces modelling and performance evaluation of electric propulsion systems, reflecting the shift toward hybrid and electric racing technologies. Racing Engine Systems – Thermal concentrates on thermal design, efficiency, and regulatory constraints in racing engines. The program concludes with a substantial MSc Dissertation, allowing students to specialise in a chosen area of race engineering through an in-depth research or industry-linked project, often in collaboration with major motorsport organisations. Overall, the course combines cutting-edge engineering science with real-world industry applications to prepare graduates for careers in motorsport and advanced automotive innovation.
