This course is new for 2018 and subject to final approval. Register your interest nowand we will let you know when you can apply.

Our course builds your skills in leadership and management and teaches you how to apply them in an engineering context. You'll explore the impact of new technologies and how they relate to management in the engineering sector. Your studies will cover business analysis, product development and supply chain management.

In your first semester, you’ll learn management essentials including finance, operations, project management and strategy. You'll have the opportunity to focus on areas of management that are most relevant to you.

You will apply your core management skills and learn more about engineering business in your second semester. You’ll explore emerging trends such as next generation manufacturing approaches, new product and service development, and environmental management. Throughout the course, you'll be challenged to apply your learning and use analytical skills.

We give you the choice of completing your degree with a dissertation or group project. The dissertation focuses on an area that interests you and draws on current management practice. The group project challenges you to tackle a real business management problem relevant to engineering industries. Working in teams gives you the opportunity to build leadership, communication and negotiation skills.

Our course is delivered by the Faculty of Engineering & Design and School of Management. This collaborative approach bridges the gap between the two disciplines. You’ll learn from academics with expertise in engineering, innovation, management and business. Their research activities and industrial collaborations will enhance your learning experience. You will benefit from our links to business through guest lectures, site visits and opportunities to work with partner companies on research projects.

The skills you graduate with will help you achieve your career aims. You could work in engineering companies, technology consultancies, research agencies and other organisations worldwide.
