Course Overview

A need for increased fuel efficiency, lighter vehicles, and a need to meet new environmental regulations and deliver superior value to customers means that automotive companies are focusing on developing the Ith policies and increasing demand.

Automotive Materials is an increasingly important area of study as the industry operates to meet changing needs. The fabric our vehicles are made of needs to reflect this, as well as maintaining appearance, functionality, and safety aspects, all while keeping costs to the customer down. 

Our Automotive Materials degree combines the core elements of materials engineering with specific training relevant to the automotive industry. The Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering teaches selected modules. 

This course will allow you to explore and deepen your knowledge and understanding of the scientific, engineering, and design aspects of automotive materials, their structure, properties, processing, and in-service behavior.

At Loughborough, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering of materials to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures and will be taught by world-leading academics whose influence extends outside of the lecture theatre. In year three, students will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff, potentially in collaboration with an industrial partner. 

Backed by all sectors of the automotive and transport industries, this is the definitive course to prepare you for a career in a crucial industrial world market.

Our Automotive Materials course utilizes the resources and expertise for which Loughborough University is a Centre of Excellence and is recognized 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 unique blend of materials engineering knowledge linked to an appreciation of vehicle and engine design, management skills, and the international awareness required of professional engineers.
