Program Overview

Course Details

Our MSc in Electric Vehicle Technology is a multi-disciplinary programme designed to take you from your bachelor’s degree in electrical, electronic, mechanical or automotive engineering and prepare you for a career developing the next generation of electric vehicles or associated technologies. Written with industry collaboration, our dedicated, knowledgeable team will cover the key areas needed to make you stand out to employers. We’ll concentrate on advanced topics such as electric machines, energy storage systems, smart sensors, automotive networks and communications protocols, and control systems.

The course is designed to address all the competencies set out by the Engineering Council and UK-SPEC and to support you to achieve professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). So, if you are an ambitious engineering graduate or a professional engineer seeking to develop an advanced understanding of electric vehicle technology, this master’s degree should prove an excellent investment in your future.

Highlights

The programme is delivered at the National Centre for Motorsport Engineering (NCME) at the University of Bolton, based in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility.

You'll have access to industry-standard computer-aided design and analysis software, as well as to our fully equipped vehicle workshops and our composite, machining, fabrication and additive manufacturing facilities.

We have strong links with industry through our industry partnerships and our Industry Advisory Board, ensuring that our programme is always relevant to employers' current and future needs.

Our academic and technical staff have significant industrial experience in the automotive, motorsport, aerospace and electronics industries.

Our programme is designed to meet the academic requirements for further learning, required for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). We are seeking accreditation by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Key Features

Course materials are available online in our virtual learning environment (VLE), allowing you to prepare work at home and make the most of the highly interactive in-class tuition.

Our teaching and learning approach is student-centred, so we’ll work with you on an individual basis, providing tailored help and support throughout your studies.

By studying alongside students and professionals from other engineering specialisms, you can benefit from a wider range of knowledge and experience that supports cross-disciplinary thinking.

This course is based at the University of Bolton’s campus in the North West of England.

We also offer master’s degrees and postgraduate apprenticeships in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Motorsport Engineering and Engineering Management. This programme is part of a well-established suite of master’s programmes offered by the University of Bolton.

By choosing to study with us, you'll have the chance to enjoy Bolton's many shops, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities. Manchester, one of the UK's most multicultural and lively cities, is less than 20 minutes away by train. Not forgetting, the North West of England is renowned for its beautiful countryside, coastline and heritage. This makes Bolton an ideal base from which to explore some of the best cultural and outdoor activities the UK offers.

Program Outline
