Our BSc (Hons) Automotive & Transport Design degree course at UCA Canterbury is an exciting course that focuses on exploring the future of personal and mass transit, and developing solutions that can meet the climate, social, and political challenges of the future.
We’ll ask you to reconsider everything you think you know about transport. As you begin to design and develop your ideas, you’ll also learn to prototype and test in real and virtual space, using technology including our motion capture suite to explore capacity, ergonomics, and qualitative testing.
On top of design considerations, you’ll also learn about societal and environmental impacts, policies, implementations, operating expenses, sustainability, and many other factors that shape approaches to transport design.
Please note, there is no option to study this course with the Integrated Foundation Year or the Professional Practice Year.

Automotive & Transport Design BSc (Hons)
Our standard three year undergraduate degree for those who meet the entry requirements for higher education.
Launch Launch Week is the first week of your academic journey in the Canterbury School of Architecture and Design and follows on directly from Induction Week. It is an intensive week spent gearing up for your year’s study objectives and getting to know your course staff, peer group and the school community in greater depth.
Design 01 – Sketch and Build You’ll engage with a series of design projects that will help introduce core skills in concept development and representation, through sketching, model making, diagramming, and time-based media. Using these skills you’ll respond to a design challenge and use digital tools to record and reflect upon the design process.
Design for Equity 01 In this unit, you’ll be introduced to the technological principles, civil regulations, and societal challenges that inform contemporary design and manufacture, with a view to using and engaging with them for your future studies.
Briefs and Positions 01 You’ll prepare a basic set of briefing materials to inform and guide your development of a small-scale design proposal, which you’ll make later in the year.
Opportunity Opportunity Week is an intensive week of activity conceived and undertaken in collaboration with an external partner(s), and it’ll be driven by the partner’s external knowledge and area of practice – so it could cover anything from politics or law to sport and wellbeing.
Design 02 – Iterate and Adapt You’ll explore the fundamental processes of design practice through spatial or product analysis, deconstruction, documentation and augmentation. To help with this, you’ll learn sketching and drawing, assembly and disassembly, accurate survey and measurement in 3D space, material analysis and documentation of both the physical space or product and their intended programme or market.
Critical Analysis 01 The designer is not a single figure working in isolation, and in this unit, you’ll learn how and why. Through critical engagement with histories and theories of spatial and object design practice, you’ll consider the idea that spaces, objects, and systems all reflect and inform a society’s beliefs, customs and ideas.
Material and Digital Practices This unit will introduce you to basic ideas around representation as a critical practice, and core theories of the design and production of small-scale objects in 2D print and 3D physical form. Working between the physical and virtual worlds, you will establish a range of techniques in digital and physical representation, building the foundation on which you begin to develop your visual communication skills and technological competence.
PLE Digital Outcomes The PLE Digital Outcome is a purposefully edited, self-directed record of your constructive engagement with and presence on digital media platforms across the year.
ATOM Activities ATOM activities are tiny pieces of diverse individual learning that facilitate interdisciplinary exposure across the university’s curriculum and beyond. They are chosen by you according to your personal interest.
Launch Launch Week for your second year is all about getting you ready for your next year of study, and re-orientating after your first summer break.
Design 03 – Fabricate and Form You’lll enhance your approaches to design development and conceptualisation through the further refinement of sketching, model making and visualisation skills, with specific focus on digital representation methodologies, and material and manufacturing constrains and opportunities.
Design for Equity 02 You’ll focus on how non-Western perspectives, culturally diverse contexts and vernacular practices can inform low-carbon approaches to spatial and product design. You will also critically explore the (contested) tools and practices that our industries use to assess ‘environmental’ concerns; developing a holistic understanding of embodied energy costs and the potential disposal or destruction, recycle, or reuse of the spaces and products that you design.
Briefs and Positions 02 In this unit, you’ll prepare a developed set of briefing materials to guide your development of a medium-scale design proposal in a subsequent design unit.
Opportunity Opportunity Week is an intensive week of activity conceived and undertaken in collaboration with an external partner(s), and it’ll be driven by the partner’s external knowledge and area of practice – so it could cover anything from politics or law to sport and wellbeing.
Design 04 – Context and Constraint You’ll expand your conceptual approach to constraint-based design by undertaking a detailed design project which brings together your technical, conceptual ideation, iterative testing, and narrative production skills in a confident and holistic way.
Pathways and Mentors In Pathways and Mentors, you will reflect on the design skills, knowledge and techniques you are acquiring and identify potential alternative career paths that you might not yet have considered. In the course of this unit, all students will have the opportunity to engage with a design professional in a structured series of engagement and mentoring sessions.
Critical Analysis 02 This unit builds on understandings from Critical Analysis 01, and issues introduced in the preceding Briefs and Positions unit, to consider how ideas are socially, historically, and culturally located.
PLE Digital Outcomes The PLE Digital Outcome is a purposefully edited, self-directed record of your constructive, level 4 engagement with and presence on, digital media platforms across the year.
ATOM Activities ATOM activities are tiny pieces of diverse individual learning that facilitate interdisciplinary exposure across the university’s curricular and beyond. They are chosen by you according to your personal interest.
Launch For your final Launch week, you’ll be gearing up for your final year of study through a range of activities, which could include a multi-story guest lecture super session, an all staff pecha kucher, Canterbury and surroundings walking orientation tours or a studio launch collaborative making project.
Design 05 – Pitch and Prototype This unit challenges you to engage with exciting new technologies and to produce compelling digital and physical prototypes through the rapid acquisition and integration of new skills within your workflows. You’ll go on developing your individual and group working skills and start to experience the pace of work in practice as you move toward employment.
Critical Analysis 03 This unit provides a framework for you to establish your own personalised research trajectory. You’ll produce a piece of self-directed research on a subject that is related to the historical, theoretical and critical concerns of your subject discipline. The subject matter will be informed by the specific interests that you have developed.
Briefs and Positions 03 In the Briefs and Positions 03 unit you will prepare an advanced set of briefing materials that will inform and guide your development of a medium-scale design for your Final Major Project.
Opportunity Opportunity Week is an intensive week of activity conceived and undertaken in collaboration with an external partner(s), and it’ll be driven by the partner’s external knowledge and area of practice – so it could cover anything from politics or law to sport and wellbeing.
Major Project After defining your own brief and with the support of your tutor, you will develop and complete an expansive project that uses all your skills in design, making, research and project development. The finished work should reflect your deep understanding of contemporary practice.
This course is designed to offer you (if eligible) the opportunity to study part of your degree aboard at a UCA partner university, while still earning credits towards your UCA degree.
