Become part of a select group of future engineers working at state-of-the-art facilities as you gain the knowledge and experience needed to enter this exciting, fast-moving, and essential industry.
Creating, assessing, and supporting the development of more sustainable, environmentally friendly vehicles requires engineers to work across both mechanical and electric systems. Until now, only a postgraduate education could provide this combination of automotive expertise. The University of Bolton's new BEng (Hons) in Sustainable and Electric Vehicle Engineering is the first undergraduate degree that delivers the multi-disciplinary approach required by the automotive industry.
You'll get up close and personal with advanced manufacturing technologies at an unrivalled £13 million development housing the latest equipment and technology: including a wind tunnel, cutting-edge workshops, and manufacturing areas. You'll be guided by industry experts and passionate tutors as you work towards creating a new generation of vehicles with a social, economic and environmental impact. You'll also have opportunities to work on live projects, supporting your learning experience.
This is a career-focused programme appropriate for those working towards professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). With a clear focus on the skills and knowledge the industry needs, our dedicated and knowledgeable team will build your understanding of the key areas necessary to stand out to employers.
The University of Bolton's BEng (Hons) Sustainable and Electric Vehicle Engineering programme uses the Engineering Council UK-SPEC learning outcomes. It is designed to partially meet the academic requirements for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Please see the Engineering Council UK website for further details of UK-SPEC.
We will be seeking accreditation of the BEng (Hons) Sustainable and Electric Vehicle Engineering programme for partial Chartered Engineer (CEng) status and full status for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and/or the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
Where changes are made to material information contained in this course description or a decision is taken to suspend a course between the offer of admissions and enrolment, we will inform applicants at the earliest possible opportunity and will outline the various options available to the applicant.
The BEng (Hons) in Sustainable and Electric Vehicle Engineering has been developed and informed by industry, employers and academic experts to enable the development of the next generation of engineers with interdisciplinary skills in electrical and mechanical systems required by the sustainable vehicle sector.
In addition to technical knowledge, this programme offers you the opportunity to develop a range of key employability skills. These include abilities in using specialist knowledge creatively and innovatively to solve problems, producing and interpreting technical solutions, and explaining design ideas. You'll also be able to communicate effectively (via speech and writing) and possess good teamwork, project and time management, and strong decision-making skills.
This degree aims to support the development of the next generation of sustainable vehicle engineers. When you successfully complete the degree, you'll be well prepared to take on demanding roles in powertrain design and development, physical and digital integration of energy storage systems, design and modelling of sustainable vehicle systems, and designing vehicles for different environments with new health and safety challenges in a safe way.
You could also pursue further study in a specialist field or research or continue your learning and development with postgraduate-level study.
Graduates can use the qualification as a stepping-stone into a range of other careers, bearing in mind that relevant experience and/or further study may be required. Some of these roles include:
Home students starting this course in the first year will be required to pay a Home fee of £6,000 for the academic year 2023/24.
Home students starting this course in the first year will be required to pay a Home fee of £6,000 for the academic year 2024/25.
Important note regarding tuition fees for the 2023-2024 academic year: EU nationals who meet residency requirements (have settled or pre-settled status) may be eligible for 'Home' fee status. If you do not meet these residency requirements, overseas fees will apply. Irish citizens living in the UK or Ireland will be eligible for 'Home' fee status under the Common Travel Area arrangement. Please read the student finance for EU students web page on www.gov.uk for information.
The fees for a student's course of study will be set for the normal duration of that course subject only to inflationary increases – measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) recorded in March each year to take effect for subsequent start dates.

We look forward to receiving your application and you continuing your academic journey with us!
We use the most appropriate teaching, learning and assessment methods to help you achieve your potential. Formally timetabled sessions, such as lectures, seminars, and tutorials, offer you knowledge of the concepts and principles essential in engineering. You'll be expected to build on these in your own time through extra reading, revision and reflection on what you've learned.
Open-ended projects and "design, make, and test" activities allow you to apply the principles you have learned, bringing the concepts and practical applications together in your mind. Opportunities to work with employers on real-life projects also help you hone your new skills and develop the ability to apply your engineering knowledge and creativity.
Regular assessments, including written exams, coursework and practical exams, and feedback from these, will help you to identify areas for improvement. You'll also be required to develop and maintain an electronic personal development plan, which will form the basis of your professional development plan – needed when you apply for membership with associated professional bodies.
The modules listed below may be a mixture of compulsory and optional. You may not have the opportunity to study all the modules shown as part of the course.
