MSc Engineering Management with Industrial Practice

Around the globe there’s a growing need for engineers with solid management skills. Our Master’s in Engineering Management with Industrial Practice has been developed to respond to the specific needs of the manufacturing and engineering sectors. The course offers a clear and focused alternative to traditional MBA degrees, and includes a year of study followed by a one-year sponsored internship.

Students combine lab-based exercises with lectures, seminars, simulations and workshops to explore issues including finance and business planning, sustainability, global engineering and supply chain management. Graduates taking this course will gain the knowledge and skills for successful careers in local and global engineering management.

What you should know about this course

It’s aimed at engineering and technology graduates who wish to extend and develop their skills, as well as graduates looking to focus on managerial roles within engineering.
You will complete a supervised individual project that runs throughout the academic year.
Students secure a year-long, fully paid placement as an opportunity to put your first-year knowledge into practice.
You are responsible for securing your placement (with our help). But if this is not completed, you can still graduate with an award without industrial practice.
Graduates can pursue a management career in both the public and private sectors.

How you will learn

Teaching

All taught modules will be research-engaged and delivered though a mixture of interactive lectures and discussions, tutorials and case-studies. Most of the modules will also have a practical/computational component relevant to the theoretical concepts covered in the classroom.

Individual research projects will form a major part of the learning process which will help students develop their ability to adapt and apply methodology to the solution of unfamiliar types of problems.

Class sizes

For the specialist modules, our class sizes are restricted to ensure a great learning experience, with normally no more than 20 students in lab sessions, and normally no more than 40 students in lectures. This allows for a close interaction between student and staff, creating a level of familiarity which is key to everything we do.

For modules common to a suite of courses, class sizes can be larger and would typically be broken down into smaller tutorial / project groups.

Independent learning

Our courses are designed to give you the space for exploratory and independent study. You’ll work towards individual and group assignments and undertake the preparation/follow-up work associated with lectures, seminars, integrative assignments and laboratory classes.

We encourage students to take advantage of a range of related extra-curricular opportunities available within the university and elsewhere.

Overall workload

If you are studying full-time, you should expect the workload to be similar to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of courses you are studying.

For the industrial practice module, you are expected to commit around 600 hours to study over the placement. This is around 13 hours a week throughout the internship year, in addition to the time spent at work. That is generally the minimum amount of time you will need to spend reading, note taking and writing to cover the necessary material and produce the assessment. If English is not your first language, it may take longer to cover the same amount of material.

Assessment

Students will be assessed through a number of methods, both formative and summative. The formative assessments will involve classroom presentations, discussions, case-studies, critical reviews and end of term examinations. Students will also be expected to complete a reflective assessment about the professional development achieved through the internship.

Feedback summary

University policy is to give feedback on assignments within 15 working days of the coursework submission date. Examination results will be available within 28 days.

Dates and timetables

Each academic year runs from September to June.
