What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
This course prepares you to work on advanced motorsports vehicles at the highest competitive level. You'll usually start with core engineering foundations, mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science, alongside motorsports-specific topics. As you progress through Years 2 and 3, a course like this normally moves toward specialist areas such as aerodynamics, powertrain systems, chassis dynamics and vehicle performance optimisation. You'll combine theoretical learning with practical laboratory work and design projects, building toward a major engineering design or research project in your final year. The integrated Master's structure allows you to develop both breadth in engineering principles and depth in motorsports applications.
You're drawn to high-performance engineering and understand how motors, aerodynamics and systems work together. You're methodical but driven by real-world outcomes: you want theory that translates to actual racing environments. This course suits those with strong analytical thinking, curiosity about vehicle dynamics, and the discipline to sustain focus across a four-year programme. You thrive when learning connects directly to industry practice, and you're prepared for the rigorous problem-solving that motorsport engineering demands.

For comparison, the standard full-time England tuition cap is up to £9,790 per year in 2026/27; the actual fee varies by course and provider. If you normally live in England, eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, plus a Maintenance Loan for living costs. Under Plan 5 you repay 9% of income above £25,000, nothing below that, and the balance is written off after 40 years.

What applying to University of Lancashire from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
International tuition is £17,325 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Lancashire’s funding pages.
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Lancashire and gov.uk before you apply.
