2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Sustainable Automotive Engineering (with an industrial placement year)

This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at the University of Sussex followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Sussex. In your International Foundation Year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

In the International Foundation Year in Sciences & Engineering, you will explore and begin to understand the power of engineering and science in the real world. While you begin to learn the technical aspects of your desired degree program you will also be provided with a critical outlook and approach employers want in your chosen field.

Our Bachelor of Engineering degree lets you specialise your degree with a range of options and provides you with the educational requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer. Automotive Engineering at Sussex covers all aspects of modern automotive development, including engine, transmission and chassis design.

Our research feeds directly into our teaching, so you'll benefit from our work in dynamics, control and vehicle research. Research projects include automotive control system, automotive on-board diagnostics system, electric motor-driven camless valve train for IC engines, and autonomous vehicles. You’ll study in our Future Technologies Labs that incorporate computer suites and new automation/robotics facilities. There is also a dedicated manufacturing lab with state-of-the-art facilities such as CNC machines and 3-D printers.
