Fees quoted are for the first year only. If you are studying a course that lasts longer than one year your fees will increase each year.
Additional costs
The published course and module descriptions were accurate when first published and remain the basis of the course, but the University has had to modify some course and module content in response to government restrictions and social distancing requirements. In the event of changes made to the government advice and social distancing rules by national or local government, the University may need to make further alterations to the published course content. Detailed information on the changes will be sent to every student on confirmation in August to ensure you have all the information before you come to Oxford Brookes.
Learning and assessment
The course is structured around three periods:
- Semester 1 runs from September to December
- Semester 2 from January to May
- the summer period which completes the year until the end of September.
To qualify for a master’s degree you must pass 180 module credits, including the dissertaion.

Compulsory modules
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) (20 credits)
This module looks at the analysis, quantification, characterisation and diagnosis of the noise, vibration and harshness of automotive components and assemblies.
Advanced Powertrain Engineering (20 credits)
This module provides an understanding of areas such as powertrain system requirements, energy flow in the driveline, engine and powertrain modelling concepts for evaluating the performance of Powertrain systems.
Engineering Business Management (20 credits)
This module provides you with an understanding of the management skills and knowledge that are important in engineering industries.
Advanced Vehicle Dynamics (20 credits)
This module will give you a thorough understanding of the relevant theoretical and practical considerations associated with optimising vehicle performance. You will learn to apply advanced vehicle dynamic analysis techniques such as the derivative method and learn how to optimise suspension on our four-post rig.
Electric Vehicles (20 credits)
This module develops comprehensive understanding of electric vehicles with the focus on advanced vehicle propulsion technology. The module covers the analysis, modelling, simulation and control of various electric vehicle architectures with the focus on the powertrain and associated electronics.
Crash Impact Modelling (20 credits)
This module will give you an understanding of material, component and structural behaviour when subjected to medium-to-high-impact events. This includes the design, testing and modelling of motorsport and automotive vehicles with regard to crash worthiness.
Compulsory modules
Dissertation (60 credits)
This is an individual project on a topic from automotive engineering, offering an opportunity to develop a high level of expertise in a particular area of automotive engineering, including use of industry-standard software and/or experimental work, the module will also provide you with research skills, planning techniques, project management. Whilst a wide range of industry-sponsored projects are available (e.g. MAN (Germany), VUHL (Mexico), McLaren (UK), AVL (Austria), Arctic Truck (Iceland) etc.), students are also able undertake their own projects in the UK and abroad, to work in close co-operation with a research, or commercial organisation.
Please note: As our courses are reviewed regularly as part of our quality assurance framework, the modules you can choose from may vary from that shown here. The structure of the course may also mean some modules are not available to you.
Learning and teaching
You will be taught by staff from the department of mechanical engineering and mathematical sciences. You’ll receive further input from visiting speakers from business and industry.
Assessment
Assessment methods used on this course
Details of the assessment methods used for this course will be included here soon.
Research
The emphasis in our research groups is producing high-quality research for the real world. Staff have close links with industry through research projects and consultancies.
Our engineering research is organised into three cross-cutting, interdisciplinary themes. Research in this area is supported by the UK Research Councils and the European Commission, industry and charitable foundations.
The results of the most recent REF (2014) exercise showed that 96% of research in the department is internationally recognised, and 57% was judged to be of world leading quality or internationally excellent, compared with 45% in 2008. More specifically, 50% of the impact case studies returned were judged to be internationally excellent, and 72% of the research outputs were judged to be internationally excellent or world leading.
