Working on world-class projects
UWE took centre stage in the development of BLOODHOUND SSC, a car designed to take the land speed record to over 1000mph/Mach 1.4. With a project team involving world-class engineers, our students gained unparalleled hands-on opportunities through work placements and project work.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
