Foundation Degree in Motorsports at OCVC in partnership with Oxford Brookes University

The Foundation Degree aims to develop students to progressing as Motorsports engineers, responsible for the design, testing, building and racing of motor vehicles across a range of Motorsports. These include single-seater racing (Formula 1, GP2, F3, plus many more), rallying, tour cars, bike racing (MotoGP, speedway, Superbikes and more), karting, drag racing, truck racing, stock cars and vintage car racing. There are many engineering disciplines within the sector but the work falls into four broad categories:

Design - computer-aided design (CAD)

Testing - Vehicle development

Production - machine components to hand wiring control units

Racing – preparing vehicles and devising race plans.

Motorsport engineers work for race vehicle manufacturers, designers, testing laboratories and component suppliers.
