World’s first online motorsport engineering degree

The National Motorsport Academy has launched the world’s first online motorsports engineering degree. Open to young and mature students it claims to be a fast-track to an exciting new career in motorsport.

College and school leavers can gain practical motorsport experience through taking the ‘earn while you learn’ approach. Meanwhile, because the course is part-time and entirely online, mature students without qualifications can balance studying with their work and family commitments.

With low tuition fees and no accommodation fees, the course is accessible to anyone who wants a fresh start, or a new life in the fast lane.

The course will equip students for a range of motorsport careers, including race engineer, data acquisition technician, aerodynamicist, propulsion engineer, chassis design engineer, drive train engineer or member of a manufacturer design team.

Kieran Reeves, director of Motorsport at NMA, said: “In this competitive, global industry, motorsport engineers must have a broad range of skills demanded by the top teams. Working closely with the industry, we’ve created a course specifically to meet their requirements.”
