Industry-standard facilities

Motorsport engineering courses at the MET are taught at our Shoreham Airport Campus but students also have access to specialist facilities at Broadwater Campus in Worthing.

Our Broadwater Campus offers state-of-the-art machinery for general, mechanical and electronic engineering, including 3D printers, robots, lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, drilling machines and welding equipment, as well as CAD and the latest computer hardware and software. Our engineering facility was recently rebuilt to provide modern classrooms, workshops and computer labs.

Our Shoreham Airport Campus is a specialist centre for aero, auto and motorsport engineering. Our dedicated motor vehicle workshop for degree students includes a range of vehicles, engines and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Our hangar houses several aircraft, as well as engines and components, providing students with the hands-on experience they need for industry. The campus also offers a library and computer facilities, including industry-standard CAD, FEA and CFD software. Additional resources, including a wind tunnel, can be accessed at the University of Brighton.

Future-focused courses

Thinking about the future can feel overwhelming at times. We believe it’s more important than ever that young people feel optimistic about their future careers. That’s why our degrees are designed to support you and develop your career potential. We are proud of the industry relevance of our courses and our record of graduate employment.

Our courses are designed in consultation with industry and are taught by staff with industry experience. Our HNC, FdEng and BSc (Hons) qualifications are recognised internationally as technical professional university-level qualifications. Employers know that these courses have been designed to provide the most up-to-date skills and knowledge.

Within every course and throughout the College, we seek to consider, encourage and champion sustainable practices and the sustainability of our graduates’ futures. We are mindful of the environmental and cultural impact of our practices and approach to design.

Our motorsport engineering courses are validated by the University of Brighton.

This means that they oversee the standards and quality of our curriculum. Students can access specialist facilities at the University of Brighton, including wind tunnels and optical research engines.
