Automotive Engineering BEng(Hons) (with integrated foundation year)
With an extra year of integrated study at foundation level, this course opens up opportunities in engineering if you do not hold the required A-levels or equivalent qualifications, are changing career, or returning to study.
The foundation year gives you the support, knowledge and skills you need. On successful completion of the foundation year, you can progress directly to the Automotive Engineering BEng(Hons).
Our accredited course will prepare you for a career as a professional engineer specialising in automotive engineering. We work with industry experts and our accrediting bodies to ensure that you develop the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace.
You’ll explore automotive engineering with internationally renowned researchers and benefit from our well-established links with organisations at the forefront of engine technology innovation.
Working with other engineering specialists on challenging and rewarding projects, and the chance to join the Brighton Formula Student team, gives you experience that mirrors industry. Placements and guest lectures from industry provide professional insight and networking opportunities.
