You’ll learn in facilities designed to mirror real engineering workplaces and help you develop the skills needed for your career. Our teaching spaces, labs and workshops feature industry-standard technology that supports hands‑on learning and technical confidence.
It’s a collaborative setting where theory meets practice and ideas become practical designs. Here, you’ll experiment, test and refine your projects using the same advanced tools applied across the automotive sector.
You’ll have access to a wide range of specialist facilities including:
- Wind tunnels
- Anechoic chamber
- Indoor UAV testing
- Structures testing facilities
- Gas-turbine engines
- Eight purpose-built automotive engine test cells
- Hawk aircraft
- 6-axis degree of freedom road and aircraft simulator
- Hub dynamometer
- Battery and fuel cell testing facilities
- Numerous instrumented test vehicles.
Students will also have access to STEMLab, a state-of-the-art laboratory facility that forms part of a wider £25M investment in the West Park of our campus. It includes an adjacent student learning and teaching hub and offers new ways to learn and collaborate, with a ‘drop-in’ engineering workshop, teaching laboratories, workshops, computer-aided design and rapid prototyping facilities, a design studio and informal learning spaces. These enhanced facilities further increase our ability to train and develop skilled graduates that are targeted by major employers from across the world.
Students can also make use of the Eccleston Student Engineering Centre, which is home to various extra-curricular clubs, such as Formula Student.
