MSc Engineering with Management

Core units provide a common platform of underpinning skills and knowledge to help you understand key principles of management and business practices and to develop the interdisciplinary skills required for leadership in industry.

Strategic Business Management provides fundamentals of what strategy is. The unit is designed to develop your analytical skills and understanding of the strategic management challenges facing technological organisations.

The Engineering Design and Technology unit explores the progression of technology and its transformative impact, encouraging you to think critically about how to adapt and evolve design strategies. It will introduce a combination of theoretical foundations, practical methods and tools. By crafting sustainable engineering solutions tailored to stakeholder needs, you'll build the skills to lead in industry.

The Systems Risk Management unit delivers essential knowledge for understanding and managing complex engineering systems. As systems grow more advanced, they become harder to design and test and the risks of failure more serious.

The Programme Level Assessment, unites students from all pathways to tackle a global challenge. You'll produce a consultancy-style report and present a solution that mirrors the real-world faced by today’s engineering and technology leaders to help you apply your learning in an impactful way.

Finally, you will complete a supervised research-based dissertation project.

You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in a branch of engineering relevant to your chosen pathway.

We welcome applicants from a wide range of disciplines, provided there is evidence of relevant knowledge aligned to the chosen pathway. Please refer to the list below for well-recognised examples of suitable degree subjects for each pathway. Other degrees that have relevant knowledge and/or include elements of management are encouraged to apply and will be considered.

STEM subjects (such as Environmental science, Mathematics, Chemistry, or Physics) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Unfortunately, degrees in Computing, Arts or Humanities are not accepted for this programme.

• Infrastructure Systems pathway: Civil Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Engineering, Architectural Engineering.
• Intelligent Manufacturing pathway: Engineering Design, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering Physics.
• Energy for sustainability pathway: Engineering Design, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering Physics, Energy Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, Sustainable Engineering, Nuclear Engineering.
• Project Management pathway: any Engineering background.

Applicants whose degree is not directly related to their chosen pathway but who have at least three years of relevant paid work experience or a postgraduate qualification in a related field are encouraged to apply. Applicants may be recommended for an alternative Engineering with Management pathway based on their academic background and work experience.

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific subject requirements would still apply.

We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional qualifications. Please include your CV when you apply, showing:

• a relevant postgraduate qualification.

See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
