3 years / Level 7 / Full-time
This course has been designed to allow graduates to work in an industry embarking on the rapid transition to electrified propulsion, namely Electric Vehicle. We are delighted to be supported in the roll-out of this course by Hyundai who are major players in the transition to Electric Vehicles.
The course will cover technology associated a wide range of vehicles, including: cars, public transport vehicles, goods vehicles, and specialist industrial vehicles.
Course content includes modules focused specifically on the technical aspects of the electric vehicle from system operation and safe working to advanced diagnosis. This will be complemented with further modules in Electrical and Mechanical principles to broaden the understanding and ensure that Fundamental Engineering content is at the core of the course.
Certain semesters of this course are taken in common with other courses.
