Course details

This course comprises eight compulsory taught modules that are assessed via a combination of written exams and individual coursework assignments, a group project and an individual research project.

Course delivery

Taught modules 40%, Group project 20%, Individual research project 40%

Group project

You will undertake a substantial group project between October and March, which focuses on designing and optimising a particular vehicle system/assembly. This is designed to prepare you for the project-based working environment within the majority of the automotive industry.

As a group, you will be required to present your findings, market the product and demonstrate technical expertise in the form of a written submission and a presentation to the Industrial Advisory Board, academic staff and fellow students. This presentation provides the opportunity to develop presentation skills and effectively handle questions about complex issues in a professional manner.

Individual project

The individual research project is the largest single component of the course taking place between April and August. It allows you to develop specialist skills in an area of your choice by taking the theory from the taught modules and joining it with practical application, usually involving a design feasibility assessment, systems analysis or facility development. Most of the projects are initiated by industrial contacts or associated with current research programmes.

In recent years, some industry sponsors have given students the opportunity to be based on site. Thesis topics will often become the basis of an employment opportunity or PhD research topic.

Modules

Keeping our courses up-to-date and current requires constant innovation and change. The modules we offer reflect the needs of business and industry and the research interests of our staff and, as a result, may change or be withdrawn due to research developments, legislation changes or for a variety of other reasons. Changes may also be designed to improve the student learning experience or to respond to feedback from students, external examiners, accreditation bodies and industrial advisory panels.

To give you a taster, we have listed the compulsory and elective (where applicable) modules which are currently affiliated with this course. All modules are indicative only, and may be subject to change for your year of entry.

Accreditation

The Automotive Engineering MSc is accredited by:

on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for further learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

The best part of the course is meeting lots of different people in different environments, and doing the Group Design Project. We had to do measurements, research, a literature review and a really good project. To be here with people from the automotive industry – they know more than us for sure, so we can learn a lot and it is a great opportunity.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Automotive Engineering MSc. I was very interested in the engine modules – the engine modules and lubrication – and simulation performance. Vehicle dynamics and powertrain performance was also a very interesting module.

We’ve had quite a few guest lecturers – diesel emissions experts from Ford and one who was from VCA talking about legislation and vehicle regulations testing, so we’ve had a good amount of input from the industry.
I’ve always been attracted to the automotive industry and I wanted to study in the UK as I am really attracted to its culture and language. After some research on the quality of teaching and the reputation of Cranfield University worldwide, I knew Cranfield was the right place for me.

I am currently working as an Analysis Performance Engineer at Michelin Motorsport in France. My key responsibilities are to analyse tyre data coming from simulations, tracks or test rigs, and to develop vehicle/tyre models to perform simulations and analyse the data. Every part of the job is interesting and challenging because no mistake is accepted regarding the state-of-the-art tyre technology developed by Michelin Motorsport.

My degree at Cranfield helped me first of all to collaborate with Aston Martin as part of my MSc thesis which surely helped me to secure my current position.
All I can say is that Cranfield was the ideal place for me to pursue my MSc in Automotive Engineering as it provided just the right atmosphere and peer group to do it in.

Academically, the highlights would have to be the group design project (GDP) and the individual research project. Designing the hybrid sports car for the GDP was the most fun I’ve had on a project, ever! And the fact that our presentation received such positive feedback from the panel made the experience even more rewarding!
Having spent a year working in the automotive industry I knew that a degree from Cranfield would greatly increase both my theoretical knowledge and career potential. My interest in cars, however, has been life-long, and continues to grow as new technologies emerge.

I have recently been promoted to the role of Powertrain Cooling Systems Manager at Aston Martin. My key responsibility is to provide world-class thermal management systems that achieve the functional, quality, cost, and timing deliverables on every 'Second Century' car in the Aston Martin portfolio. As our company continues to grow, this change is both exciting and challenging, particularly as we start to enter new engineering territory in battery thermal management.

I believe that a degree from Cranfield improves initial employability and starts a candidate off with a strong advantage, but promotability requires something more; it requires knowledge, intuition and a hunger for opportunity.

I chose to study at 鶹ýAV because of it's massive industrial connections and the quality of teaching that reflected in it's overall rankings.

I chose Automotive Engineering MSc for two reasons: as the UK is home to some of the world's largest Automotive brands and is also the birthplace of Formula 1. Also, the evergreen and growing automotive sector in the UK and the possibility of connections.

I have managed to secure a job at Williams Advanced Engineering as a Graduate Controls Engineer. So, after finishing my degree in a few weeks, I will start my new career.

鶹ýAV has helped me prepare the foundations that I needed to launch my career and also supported me in preparing my CV, cover letter and everything I needed to get the job.
