Summary

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.

Industry-standard workshops and laboratories, industry-relevant assessments, and opportunities to work on live motorsport projects, together with teaching from experienced motorsport professionals, combine to make our MSc in Motorsport Engineering an excellent choice if you want to advance your career at the highest levels of the motorsport and automotive industries.

A career in motorsport engineering demands advanced knowledge and specialist skills. By studying for your MSc in Motorsport Engineering at the University of Greater Manchester, you’ll focus on the cutting edge of motorsport design, simulation and operations, while benefiting from our innovative block-delivery model and strong industry links.

This programme combines advanced study in engineering principles with motorsport-specific expertise. You’ll explore themes such as aerodynamics, vehicle science, systems engineering and operations management, alongside digital engineering skills in data science, advanced manufacturing and computer-aided engineering.

You’ll develop expertise using industry-standard tools such as Solidworks, Ansys, Simscale and Matlab/Simulink, supported by access to our outstanding facilities, including the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing, fully equipped machine shop, composite workshop, and race vehicle workshop. These specialist environments allow you to gain hands-on experience with CNC machining, polymer and metallic additive manufacturing, composite manufacturing, and practical race engineering tasks.

Hands-on experience is at the heart of the course. You’ll have the opportunity to join our Formula Student team, as well as take part in live projects with industry partners.
