Fully Funded Motorsport Engineering Scholarships at Cranfield University in the UK 2024
The FIA, partnered with Cranfield University, is offering an engineering scholarship for the academic year 2023-2024. Cranfield has undertaken research, consultancy, and testing for the motorsport sector since the 1970s. The Cranfield Impact Centre is a FIA-approved test center, and Cranfield Simulation (AXSIM) is at the forefront of driver-in-loop race-driving simulation. With strong links to industry through the Cranfield Motorsport MSc Steering Committee, graduates can anticipate career opportunities ranging from design roles to working trackside with teams.
