MSc Engineering with Management
Overview
The MSc in Engineering with Management is designed for graduates who wish to combine leading-edge knowledge in management practices and state-of-the-art practical advances to lead in the new era of engineering and technology.
This unique, one-year masters degree in Engineering with Management combines the foundations of management for engineering and technology, with the opportunity to pursue one of three specialist pathways.
Taught in the School of Civil, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, you will join one of the UK's top engineering schools and learn from a distinguished team of experts. With world-leading companies including Arup, Babcock, DNV-GL, 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:
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Intelligent Manufacturing
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Energy for Sustainability
- MSc in Engineering with Management - Infrastructure System
Intelligent Manufacturing will be supported by staff and industry who specialise in the areas of 3D printing, Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. Likewise, Energy for Sustainability and Infrastructure Systems draw on the University's well established and respected research history in areas such as smart systems and renewable energy as well as its links to key influencers and decision makers in government.
Each pathway provides a crucial understanding of digitisation, sustainability and global development challenges and their impact on engineering management in the 21st century.

Programme structure
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 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 programme 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'll work collaboratively on a real-world multidisciplinary project.
The Uncertainty and Risk Management unit provides relevant techniques to identify, quantify and analyse uncertainties in engineering applications, to support well-informed decisions about improving products, processes and mitigate risk in projects.
Finally, you will complete a supervised research-based dissertation project.
Visit our programme catalogue for full details of each pathway structure.
Entry requirements
An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in an engineering-related subject. Applicants must be able to demonstrate strong academic engagement with engineering, evidenced in their transcript. Applicants may be recommended for an alternative Engineering with Management pathway based on their academic and work experience. Applicants with a lower class of degree with relevant work experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
