The automotive industry is presently immersed in cutting edge technology and will benefit from a diverse skill set.

“There are a number of other skills from other emerging technologies – such as virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence – starting to make their way into the automotive industry now, and that is really exciting. Because of that, non-core engineering students – from computer science, gaming and development backgrounds – will also have a future in the automotive sector.” Marcus Youden, head of operations at McLaren Automotive.
