The MSc programme has been developed in collaboration with industrial partners who are already working closely with the Faculty of Engineering at Strathclyde through three of the eight Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT) in which we are currently involved. Our industry partners will remain engaged throughout the programmes, providing exciting project opportunities for students to work on as part of their postgraduate degree study.The overall objective of the course is to develop high calibre masters graduates with an in-depth understanding of advanced, industry-relevant manufacturing technology and systems, and with the skills to meet industrial needs. Manufacturing is still a core industry in a global context. Despite concern that job opportunities for university gradates have been reduced recently in some sectors, a significant number of manufacturing employers have expressed specific recruitment difficulties due to lack of applicants with the required qualifications and skills.The aim of developing an in-depth understanding of manufacturing technology and specialist skills is to address the balance in manufacturing education, and ultimately, to help manufacturing industry in gaining competitive advantages in strategically important areas such as manufacturing automation, advanced production techniques and micro/nano-manufacturing, the latter being important in reforming current industry, shaping future manufacturing industry and developing the next generation of industrial products which are relevant to all major industrial sectors – energy, transport, health care, food and consumer goods.On the completion of the course, the participants will be equipped with state-of-the-art concepts, methods, tools and techniques relating to advanced manufacturing technology and systems. Through participating in speciality-focused streams and undertaking industrially-relevant projects, it is expected that the graduates will be able to apply their learnt knowledge and trained skills to the solution of some of the technological problems faced by current industry and able to gain competent technological expertise and skills to enhance their job opportunities. Unique Course Features
•The course is run in collaboration with the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) of the University, which is co-hosted by the Department. AFRC is sponsored by multi-nations, large enterprises including Rolls-Royce, Boeing, etc.•Besides common modules to be learnt, the course offers an option for students to develop specialist knowledge/skills in the following disciplines: Manufacturing Automation, Mechatronics, Micro- and Nano-Manufacturing, and Advanced Forming Technology.
