This course aims to develop the knowledge and skills that you will need to become a highly qualified engineer. Our excellent facilities include a rolling road, CAD suite, wind tunnel, damper dynamometer, advanced chassis set-up equipment, CNC and machine shop and cylinder head flow analysis equipment amongst a whole host of software packages.
This programme is accredited by the IET and IMechE as partially meeting the academic requirements for IEng status. To get full IEng recognition you will need to study an accredited BEng (Hons) Top-up. We have carried out a large range of industry partner visits to the likes of Xtrac, Williams, Force India and other related motorsport engineering companies. We also have a series of guest lectures throughout each year. You may also be given the opportunity to participate in the College race team.
Modules may include:
You will gain a range of both practical and theoretical skills that can be utilised in industry. The range of modules gives good coverage to a wide range of topics, allowing you to explore the areas of Motorsport that you wish to specialise in. The Project and Work placement modules give you the chance to further look into potential career paths and challenge yourself both in a working environment and with a self-study project module.

I chose to study at UCS because of the course content and professionalism of the lecturers. We had a vast amount of contact time, which was really beneficial. The chance to join a student-led multi-championship motorsport team was also a big draw. That helped expand my knowledge, leading to my dream job with the Williams F1 team. The highlight of the course was the hands-on experience I gained in the workshop and trackside. We also got fantastic exposure to the industry.
