MSc Engineering with Management

Core units build a foundation in engineering and management, helping you understand key principles and enabling you to communicate across disciplines, and manage interdisciplinary projects:

Strategic Business Management

This unit deepens your understanding of key business challenges, building skills to evaluate situations and make effective decisions. It blends theory and applied insights to assess evolving digital transformation strategies.

Engineering Design and Technology

This unit encourages you to examine current challenges in business and perform industry analysis. It integrates theory and applied insights to help you assess digital transformation strategies.

Systems Risk Management

As systems become more advanced, they are harder to design and test, and hence carry risk of failure. You will gain key skills to evaluate complex engineering systems effectively.

Engineering Project Management and Leadership

This unit provides the interdisciplinary foundation necessary for successfully managing engineering projects.

Pathway-specific units

Each pathway includes specialised units that build knowledge and skills relevant to your interests and career goals.

Global Challenge Project

This project brings all pathways together to tackle a UN global challenge. You will collaborate to define the challenge and present a solution using knowledge from across your programme to produce a consultancy-style report. This real-world approach allows you to apply your learning in a practical and meaningful way.

Visit our programme catalogue for full details of the pathway structure.

You will typically need a strong second-class honours degree (55% or higher), or an international equivalent, in a relevant branch of engineering.

We welcome applicants from a wide range of engineering disciplines, provided that your undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) demonstrates relevant knowledge aligned to the chosen pathway and/or includes elements of management.

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

Applicants whose degree is not related to their chosen pathway but who have two years of relevant paid work experience, or a qualification in a related field, are encouraged to apply.

Applicants may be recommended for an alternative 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 may also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. In this case, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional qualifications and/or relevant work experience. Please include your CV when you apply.

See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
