MSc Engineering with Management

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.

You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in Aerospace, Civil, Design or Mechanical Engineering. Unfortunately Electronic or Communications Engineering and Computing degrees will not be considered suitable for this programme.

Applicants from other Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics subjects are required to have studied modules relevant to their pathway of choice:

Energy for Sustainability:

• Engineering Design
• Engineering Mechanics
• Industrial Engineering
• Mechanical Design
• Renewables/Future Energy/Solar/Green/Nuclear Energy
• Sustainability
• Thermo/fluids

Intelligent Manufacturing:

• Digital Manufacturing
• Engineering Design
• Engineering Mechanics
• Industrial Engineering
• Machine Design/Mechanical Design
• Manufacturing Design/Process/Technology
• Product Design/Product Planning
• Programming Modules

Infrastructure Resilience:

• Architecture
• Civil Engineering
• Surveying
• Soil Mechanics
• Structural Mechanics
• Structural Design
• Construction Materials

Applicants may be recommended for an alternative Engineering with Management pathway based on their academic background and work experience.

If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date.

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 module 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.

• evidence of significant paid work experience (minimum two years) in a relevant Engineering field.
• a relevant postgraduate qualification.

Specific module requirements would still apply.

See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
