Why study automotive engineering?

The automotive industry is set for global growth over the next decade. Engineers play a role in designing cleaner and more efficient vehicles to address environmental challenges, while urbanisation is driving a need for better transport solutions.

These contemporary issues will create demand for professionals with knowledge and skills in automotive design and manufacture. If you’re always asking questions, exploring different alternatives, and thinking creatively – then you’re who we’re looking for.
