The 2005 Formula One season kicked off in Melbourne on Sunday, and is set to be the most exciting season to date. Yet where would those driving heroes be without the complicated and ever advancing engineering technology so compactly encased under the bonnet? The driver may take the glory of a win but the success or failure of any race is a team effort, with endless experts working to ensure that the driver has the smoothest and quickest ride possible.

The Foundation Degree in Motorsport Technology offers anyone passionate about motorsport engineering the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills in the profession of motorsport. The degree has been developed with input from the motorsport industry, the Motorsport Industry Association and the governing bodies for British motorcycle sport, and provides the opportunity to obtain the latest knowledge and experience in the fast moving world of modern motorsport on a flexible and applied basis.
