Automotive companies are focusing on developing new materials to keep up with policies and increased demand. This means there is a need for increased fuel efficiency and lighter vehicles, to meet new environmental regulations alongside delivering superior value to customers.
Automotive Materials is therefore an increasingly important area of study as the industry operates to meet changing needs. The fabric that our vehicles are made of needs to reflect this. As well as maintaining appearance, functionality and safety aspects, all whilst keeping costs to the customer down.
Our Automotive Materials degree combines the core elements of materials engineering with specific training of relevance to the automotive industry. It will give you the opportunity to explore and deepen your knowledge of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of automotive materials, their structure, properties, processing, and in-service behaviour. It will take you from the fundamental science and engineering of materials to the cutting-edge of the subject. You will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures and be taught by leading academics.
In year three, you will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff and potentially in collaboration with an industrial partner.
Supported by all sectors of the automotive and transport industries, this is the definitive course to prepare you for a career in an important industrial world market.
Our Automotive Materials course uses the resources and expertise from Loughborough University as a Centre of Excellence. It is recognised as such by BAE Systems, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford Motor Company and Rolls-Royce, as well as national research and education leaders in materials and automotive engineering. It offers a special blend of materials engineering knowledge linked to an appreciation of vehicle and engine design, plus management skills and the international awareness that is required of professional engineers.
