Our motorcycle students are of all ages and we have female staff as well as students Our motorcycle department is known across the country and some of our students travel from places as far away as Portsmouth and Birmingham to take our courses! We offer: - a range of full-time courses for school leavers - day and evening part-time courses for adults - apprenticeships and advanced apprenticeships - the new Automotive Technician Accreditation course - bespoke training Our long-standing reputation in the sector was confirmed in 2005 when we became a Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) in Motor Vehicles. The CoVE scheme has now ended across the country but the department continues to benefit from the equipment and resources gained, including state-of-the-art learning technology. Apprenticeships in Motorcycles For practical, work-based skills and a qualification, an apprenticeship is a great idea - whether you are just strarting out on your career as a technician or an employer looking to fill a position in your company. If you are interested in becoming a motorcycle apprentice please contact us on info@merton.ac.uk or call 020 8408 6500. If you are an employer interested in taking on an apprentice contact our Employer helpline on 020 8408 6567 or email employerinfo@merton.ac.uk If you would like to learn more about the courses please look at our leaflets by choosing the links below.

Brian Caket and Tommy Coogan worked with two teams, the NVQ1 Motorcycles Foundation Group, and a group of students from Lindenbridge School. Each team designed and built a trike and kept a photo diary to shows its progress. Four students from each group accompanied their creations to the show, where despite very strong competition they won 4 awards. The Lindenbridge trike called “Christine” won in the following categories,” Best Trike” and “Most Zany Bike” and were runners up in “Best Decorated”. The NVQ1 group with their Trike “Ruf Rider” won the “Organisers Choice Award”. __________________________________________________ ____________ Motorcycle Engineering - BSc(Hons) - Course Information - Undergraduate Students - Kingston University London Motorcycle Engineering BSc(Hons) Facts about this course Year of entry 2010 Type BSc(Hons) Modules Module Listing UCAS H345 3 years full-time H346 4 years sandwich H308 3/4 years full-time including foundation year About this course Why choose this course? This degree is ideal if you are passionate about motorcycles and want to learn more about their engineering and design. We offer excellent facilities, including a variety of motorcycles, a wind tunnel for testing the aerodynamics of prototypes, computer-aided design packages and systems testing equipment. This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and satisfies the academic requirements for incorporated engineer (IEng) status. What will you study? Subjects such as maths, engineering science and structural mechanics provide a theoretical background, while modules in engineering design and applications teach the necessary design skills.
