MSc Automotive Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

The MSc Automotive Engineering course provides specialised knowledge of the latest technological developments in automotive applications of mechanical engineering, including internal combustion engines, vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics, industry-standard CAD tools, renewable energy and alternative fuels, finite element and experimental techniques.

City University London’s internationally-recognised Research Centre for Energy and the Environment’s core research activities are in automotive engineering, providing excellent computational and experimental facilities, including a number of modern optical IC engines and advanced optical instruments for different optical diagnostic methods.

The course is taught by staff from the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences and some external industrial experts. Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials and seminars. Throughout the programme, teaching and learning strategies are designed to encourage independent self study and teamwork, creativity and critical thinking.

Entry Requirements

The normal requirement is a second class Honours degree in mechanical or automotive engineering or equivalent in an acceptable scientific or engineering discipline. Consideration will also be given to candidates who can demonstrate, work experience in an appropriate field.
