Course summary

Build on your technical background while gaining business and management skills. These skills include project control, supply chain management, risk management, and quality optimisation. You'll also develop the ‘soft’ skills of working with others and leading projects, including expertise in negotiation and collaboration, effective communication, handling conflict and politics, and managing change.

As part of the course, you'll undertake a project that tackles a real-world problem. These projects are often sponsored by external clients and we encourage and support you to find your own client and sponsor. This relevant work experience will enhance your skills, build up a valuable network of contacts and further boost your employability.

Potential management roles include:

  • Project manager
  • Design engineer
  • Manufacturing engineer
  • Mechanical engineer
  • Electrical engineer
  • Product engineer
  • Maintenance engineer.

What you'll study

Core modules

Many of our courses include a range of modules you can choose from. Some of these options may only be available if you’ve already studied specific required modules. If you’re not sure what you need before picking a module, your course leader can help.

Postgraduate module credits should total 180. If optional modules are available alongside core modules on your course, you should choose an amount that totals 180 credits.

How you'll learn

We use a wide variety of teaching and learning methods, which include lectures, group work, research, discussion groups, seminars, tutorials, and practical laboratory sessions. Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this master's requires a higher level of independent working.

Assessment methods include individual written reports and research papers, practical assignments, and the master's project.
