What this course is about

UCAS code: H336

Here's what University of Hertfordshire says about its Motorsport Engineering course.

Motorsport is the proving ground for future technology in the automotive industry. This course has much in common with the MEng/BEng degree in Automotive Engineering but with a particular emphasis on improving vehicle handling and vehicle performance. A highly successful track record in the IMechE Formula Student Competition has established the University as one of the key providers of motorsport engineering in the country and this professionally-accredited degree provides the first steps to gaining chartered engineer status.
