G68 Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports)

This course develops core problem solving abilities and the technical, financial and management skills associated with manufacturing industries in general, and the motorsports industry in particular. Students gain a solid understanding of the design, simulation and fabrication processes, and the management issues associated with production of the complex automotive systems and the components that underpin the motorsport industry. The course provides a stimulating and supportive learning environment with an enthusiastic and articulate approach which reflects the culture of motorsports.  Students have the opportunity to further develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular activities, to help progression into the motorsports industry. They also have broader employment opportunities in product design and development, manufacturing, marketing and project management.
