• BEng Automotive Engineering (H330)
• MEng Automotive Engineering (H335)

Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering by following a general engineering programme at the start of their time with us. Thereafter, those specialising in Automotive Engineering will combine a firm grounding in the principles of automotive engineering with experience of cutting-edge technology.

If you aspire to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, a degree from Warwick is a great starting point. The majority of our degrees are accredited by licensed professional engineering institutions, such as the IET, IMechE and JBM and provide the academic component (in part or fully) needed for Chartered Engineer status.

Entry requirements are published on the University website:

Come and see for yourself what Warwick is all about! Our University Open DaysLink opens in a new window give you the chance to visit the School of Engineering, see the facilities, meet staff and students, tour the campus and get a real feel for life at Warwick. If you apply to study at Warwick and are subsequently made an offer, you may also be invited to an Offer Holder Open Day.

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. After the first year, 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.

The course structure below is relevant to students applying for entry in 2024.

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.

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4 (MEng only)

The information on this page is applicable for 2024 entry. Detailed information for each module can be found on this webpage.

There may be some changes to this degree for 2024 entry. Changes to core and optional modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes. As changes are confirmed, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer.

Intercalated degrees

Students may choose to spend a year in industry, research or study abroad between years two and three, or between year three and four for MEng. If you choose to take an intercalated year, this will be reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree programme.

Tuition fees

Please see the University website for details of tuition fees, financial support and the cost of living.

Scholarships

The School of Engineering is privileged to attract high fliers and seeks to recognise and promote achievement, talent, ideas, hard work and diversity. We regularly offer a number of scholarships.

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.

We'll help you to stand out from the crowd and gain that important first step on your career journey.
