Have you got any practical experience to date, have you been helping out race teams as a volunteer in your free time?

I might be wrong but there seem to be loads of grads out there wanting to work in race teams but I'd imagine those who've gone out and got expernience probably have an edge?
Yes I have some experience with a racing team, but not in the U.K. though, I have been trying to get some work experience with racing team in the U.K. as well, but to be honest I have never got any chance to do it at all. frown

Excuse me for asking but what the * is a "...master degree in Motorsport Engineering?". Where can you get one, is there a link?

I'm just amazed, it sounds like a great course, I just never imagined that such a thing existed.

As the others have said, go do some work for a team, free of charge if necessary, even weekends is better than no experience.

Good luck.
There are my univrsity that have this course i.e. Cranfield University, Kingston University, Swansea Institute of Higher Education and more
