MEng (Hons) / BEng (Hons) Automotive Engineering – Top Up
The programmes offered by the School of Engineering in University of Wolverhampton specialises in the integration of the mechanical, electrical, and electronics subject areas. The MEng (Hons) / BEng (Hons) Automotive Engineering programme reflects this emphasis and, in addition to gaining in-depth knowledge and understanding of the automotive subject, students also gain experience of designing engineering systems that incorporate aspects of the mechanical and electrical/electronic technologies.
Student will use industry-standard software to facilitate design, analysis and synthesis activities; student will be taught by lecturers who have substantial industrial experience in an environment focused on working with, and supporting engineering and technology companies.
Student will participate in a multi-disciplinary group project, necessitating the application of advanced management techniques in a progressive technological environment.

Job Opportunities
The combination of engineering skills, design capability, and management provides graduates of this programme with a wide range of employment opportunities in technical environments across the world.
Automotive engineers may choose industrially based careers in research and development, test, systems, product development, performance and development engineering, automotive component, and design engineering. They go on to co-ordinate product, process and system design; and manage technical projects in a wide range of technical environments. Graduates may also study for a taught postgraduate degree, MSc, or a research degree, MPhil/PhD.
The transferable skills gained during the programme, including: project management, group working, and analytical thinking, also enable a graduate to pursue careers in non-technical fields such as: law, accountancy, authoring, and computing, expanded as per below;
