Probably two of the best Motorsport courses in the country :
Oxford Brookes - BEng (Hons) or MEng in Motorsport Engineering at Oxford Brookes University
Coventry - MEng/BEng (Hons) Motorsport Engineering | Coventry University

It depends what you want to do i F1 or WEC, it’s generally best to develop skills & experience in a focused area which directly applies to the role you wish to apply for.

Depends on what field you want to go into in motorsports. I was in the same boat as you but now know what path I need to follow. Message me and I can help you out

This is the best course as F1 teams recruit from Brookes. Their Formula Student team is the most successful in the whole country.

Hi there,
One University you might want to consider is Coventry University as it has an excellent motorsport engineering course that gives you access to world class facilities and a large team of academic with industry experience. I am currently studying motorsport engineering here and absolutely love it. We also have a highly competitive Formula Student Team called Phoenix Racing who came 7th Overall last year and are aiming for top 3 this year. The team helps provide invaluable experience to help with getting into top tier motorsport

That is a link to the course page incase you want anymore information or use the universities Unibuddy page to contact some other students.
I hope your application goes well.

I remember from open days you can do Mechanical engineering with Motorsport. That might be a better option. Just in case if you change your mind in the future l, mechanical engineering opens more doors.

The courses are so similar that it makes no difference. Brookes auto includes EVs.
