MEng Automotive Engineering

at Warwick Manufacturing Group

We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise.
 

All first year students study a general engineering programme, which is much favoured by industry. In the second year, you continue to study the same core modules as all other students until the end of term one, after you which you can specialise in Automotive Engineering, choose another specialism or continue on the general engineering pathway.
 

Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year MEng degree if academic requirements and regulations are met, and from the MEng to the BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier.
 

Year 1

In your first year you will be taught the fundamentals of engineering, which you will build on in later years according to your interests.

A levels

A level typical offer

A*AA (MEng) to include Mathematics and Physics.
 

A level additional information

We also ask for a pass in the science practical assessment (if applicable).
 

IB typical offer

38 to include 6, 6, 6 in Mathematics and Physics - at least one of these subjects should be at Higher Level.
 

IB contextual offer

We welcome applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria and whose predicted grades are close to, or slightly below, the contextual offer level. The typical contextual offer is 36 including 6, 6, 6 in Higher Level Mathematics and Physics - one of these subjects at Higher Level may be considered. 

BTEC

We welcome applications from students who offer a combination of relevant BTEC and A level subjects. Applicants with a strong profile taking BTEC alongside A level Mathematics, Further Mathematics or Physics may be considered.

Additional course costs

As well as tuition fees and living expenses, some courses may require you to cover the cost of field trips or costs associated with travel abroad. Information about department specific costs should be considered in conjunction with the more general costs below:

• Core text books
• Printer credits
• Dissertation binding
• Robe hire for your degree ceremony
   

By gaining skills ranging from mechanical design, electronic systems, manufacturing techniques, management, ergonomics and human perception of things such as noise, vibration and performance, you'll graduate as a well-rounded automotive engineer equipped for a broad range of career options. You will also build skills in research, design and innovation, communication and leadership, able to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to solving engineering problems.
