Manufacturing Consultancy MSc |
| Bursaries available - up to £5000+fees This course was created in response to the high proportion of Cranfield manufacturing graduates taking up consultancy positions. It has been developed with a strong emphasis on applying knowledge in the industrial environment, and all teaching is in the context of industrial application. Many features of this option are shared with the Engineering and Management of Manufacturing Systems option, but it favours individuals who already have industrial experience as it better prepares them for a career in consultancy. This MSc course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) for meeting the ‘further learning requirements’ for Chartered Engineer registration. Students benefit from our wide range of state-of-the-art equipment, analysis tools and specialist software packages. The course objectives are achieved through a carefully integrated and structured series of eight one-week assessed modules, a group project and an individual project. The modules Modules include lectures, workshops, case studies, tutorials and company visits and are assessed through written examinations and assignments. • Consultancy Skills • Enterprise Systems • General Management • Manufacturing Strategy • Manufacturing Systems Engineering • Operations Analysis • Operations Management • Supply Chain Management Group project The group project provides students with the opportunity to take responsibility for a consultancy-type project, while working under academic supervision. Success is dependent on the integration of various activities and working within agreed objectives, deadlines and budgets. Experience gained is highly valued by both students and prospective employers. For part-time students a dissertation usually replaces the group project. Individual project Students select the individual project in consultation with the Course Director. The individual project provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to carry out independent research, think and work in an original way, contribute to knowledge, and overcome genuine manufacturing problems. Many of the projects are supported by external organisations. Suitable for graduates keen to develop the manufacturing knowledge and skills necessary for a career in consultancy. The part-time option will enable practitioners to extend their professional development within their current employment. Takes you on to positions in consultancy organisations or within large manufacturing organisations that employ internal consultants as major change agents. Many graduates find employment with one of their project sponsors. You will be taught by experts from Cranfield and industry with substantial experience in teaching, project supervision, research and consultancy. The academics have published in leading journals and books and worked closely with world-class manufacturers. Assessment: Taught modules 40%, group project 20% (dissertation for part-time students), individual project 40%. *Full time students only. Conditions apply, details on application. |
