    Harper Adams University

    Harper Adams got its start back in 1901, at the close of the Victorian Era. Even then, its focus was firmly set on managing food and resource production in a scientific, sustainable and responsible manner.

    Course Summary

    A BEng in Automotive Engineering from Harper Adams University is ideal for those who wish to build a career in the design and development of off road vehicles. The university has particularly close links with this industry, and regularly arranges working placements with organisations including BAE Systems, Caterpillar, JCB, Terex and Jaguar Land Rover.

    You’ll learn about vehicle mobility, the finer points of off road suspension design, electronic control systems, and the way different terrains interact with ways to optimise ride and handling. Perhaps equally important, you’ll learn all of the research techniques and business principles you’ll need to work as an engineer or a manager of engineers in this exciting, competitive industry.

    You will spend nearly as much time in a lab or technical setting as you do in classes, as this program is very much project-led. You’ll deliver both a group and individual project as part of your final year, doing real work for real world clients.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
