Key Summary
Introduction
Extend and develop your engineering and technology skills and gain solid management experience with this two-year MSc in Engineering Management with an industrial placement.
Around the globe there's a growing need for engineers with solid management skills. Our Master's in Engineering Management with Industrial Practice has been developed to respond to the specific needs of the manufacturing and engineering sectors. The course offers a clear and focused alternative to traditional MBA degrees and includes a year of study followed by a one-year internship.
Students combine lab-based exercises with lectures, seminars, simulations, and workshops to explore issues including finance and business planning, sustainability, global engineering, and supply chain management. Graduates taking this course will gain the knowledge and skills for successful careers in local and global engineering management.
This programme has been designed for the International Market.
What you should know about this course
- It's aimed at engineering and technology graduates who wish to extend and develop their skills, as well as graduates looking to focus on managerial roles within engineering.
- You will complete a supervised individual project that runs throughout the academic year.
- Students secure a year-long, fully paid placement as an opportunity to put their first-year knowledge into practice.

Career Opportunities
Will I have a work placement?
The industrial placement is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and experience you gain during your first year on the program. You will engage with current industrial systems, processes, and practices, which contribute to your professional development as a manager in the engineering sector.
How long is my placement?
An industrial practice placement should typically last 11 months, with a maximum of 48 weeks, and a minimum of 35 weeks (only if required by the student placement search process).
Mentors
A workplace mentor supports you throughout your placement year, helping you to set objectives and goals, and ensuring you receive appropriate training.
You are also allocated an academic mentor, who monitors your written work. The academic mentor will engage with you to ensure your placement is running smoothly.
What sort of careers do graduates pursue?
The course is aimed at experienced industry practitioners who wish to complement their academic knowledge and obtain professional recognition in key management areas of private industry or the public sector internationally.
Do you provide employability services?
As well as support from the Faculty of Engineering and Science Placements Team, the University partners with an organisation that specialises in guiding students to secure an industrial practice placement. However, it is ultimately the studentโs responsibility to secure an appropriate placement. This could be with a local or international employer in a relevant industrial sector.
If a placement is not secured, it is still possible to graduate with an MSc without the endorsement of Industrial Practice.
