This unique, one-year master's degree in Engineering with Management combines the foundations of management for engineering and technology, with the opportunity to pursue one of three specialist pathways:
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Intelligent Manufacturing
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Energy for Sustainability
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Infrastructure System.
With world-leading companies including Arup, Babcock, DNV, GKN, Airbus, Rolls-Royce and the National Composite Centre on our doorstep, we have placed industry at the heart of the vision for this programme and each of its three pathways.
Each pathway is supported by dedicated academics and industry experts who specialise in their respective fields. They draw upon the University’s esteemed research legacy in areas like intelligent manufacturing, smart infrastructure systems, and renewable energy. Join us to benefit from cutting-edge insights and a rich history of academic excellence.
Each pathway provides a crucial understanding of digitisation, sustainability and global development challenges and their impact on engineering management in the 21st century.
from 25th November 2024- 4th of December 2025
Core units provide a common platform of underpinning skills and knowledge at a postgraduate level to help you understand key principles of management and business practices and to develop the interdisciplinary skills required for leadership in the engineering and technology industries.
Units include Strategic Business Management for Engineers to provide fundamentals of what strategy is and differentiate it from other business activities. The unit is designed to develop your analytical and critical skills in the strategic management issues facing technological organisations in today's fast-changing environment.
The Engineering Design and Technology unit provides knowledge of the technologies on which the modern engineered world is built. It will introduce a combination of theoretical foundations, practical methods and tools to apply in the Global Challenge Project where you will work collaboratively on a real-world multidisciplinary project.
The Systems Risk Management unit studies risk, the importance and role of risk analyses in engineering systems design and management, and methods to perform risk analyses in these contexts.
Finally, you will complete a supervised research-based dissertation project.
