Overview
Automotive Engineering BEng sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Automotive Engineering combines design work, laboratory sessions and an individual engineering project. We currently work with 21 universities on this course across 16 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.000 to £37.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
