Engineering Management MSc (PGCert PGDip)

Course structure

This postgraduate masters degree can be studied full-time or part-time.

To be awarded the MSc, you must obtain 180 M-level credits: 60 credits through the completion of your masters dissertation, 80 credits from compulsory modules and 40 credits from semester 1 and semester 2 option modules.

Areas of study

Core modules 

• Engineering Management
  This modules focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship. Using a real-time, problem-based approach you develop your skills in evaluating and applying management and professional techniques to support the development of new and innovative products and services.
• Supply Chain Management
• You build you knowledge of the complexities of logistics and supply chains and their management, providing a broad strategy view of supply chain management.
• Major Team Project
  The group project is a project scope for a complex, real-world problem set by industrial partners as you develop your leadership, management and teamworking skills. Examples of projects include: The Application of Engineering Modelling and Simulation to Drug Delivery, A Mobile Energy System, CFD Analysis and Optimisation of Infrared Heating in Large Spaces, Green Energy for Shoreham Port, Fuel from Waste, and Water Heat to Power.
• Masters Dissertation
• The individual project is the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to work at masters level as independent researcher in your chosen area of expertise.

Option modules*

Semester 1

• Data Visualisation and Analysis
  This module is designed to provide you with knowledge of statistical foundations and computer programming underlying data analysis. As part of the module you apply your new knowledge to complete a realistic data set. 
• Environmental Impact Assessment
  Through examining the principles behind, and the practice of, environmental impact assessment (EIA) you will develop your knowledge and understanding of the EIA process and appreciation of the theoretical and practical process of EIA in engineering scenarios.
• Renewable Energy Technologies
  Preparing you for subjects related to renewable technologies in industry, as part of this module you will evaluate technical solutions available for the design and implementation of a renewable energy system and apply appropriate analytical techniques. 

Semester 2

• Professional Development
  The aim of this module is to support your development as independent learners within the engineering profession; to select, plan and study for a project or career-related design subject on a topic of your choice.
• Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Data
  You will learn to understand, select and apply a range of data analysis and machine learning methods for turning raw data into useful information and ultimately knowledge. This provides a solid basis for operational and other decisions that arise in diverse professional contexts.

*Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.

Meet the team

Dr Cliff Dansoh, course leader

I have spent most of my life in industry. Having started in the Royal Navy and then through a range of consultancy roles I have been lucky enough to experience a variety of diverse types of engineering and ways of getting things done. This journey has impressed upon me the merits of not only being technically competent, but in having the vision and creativity to establish what needs to be done; and the implementation skills, competencies and behaviours to have the best chance of actually achieving the end result.

As we advance technically it is expected that the next few years will deliver societal benefits in diverse areas such as the food chain, water, energy, waste management and health care. It is clear that studying engineering provides competencies that are not only pivotal to delivering these societal changes, but will also be required in larger amounts.

My advice to students is to explore the wealth of knowledge that exists and strive for excellence during your time at the university. I would also advise you to be kind. Kindness and decency in how you deal with others in delivering projects can be just as important as your technical ability.

Info

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2023–24.

Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and are subject to an annual increase of no more than 5% or RPI (whichever is the greater). The annual increase for UK students, who are subject to regulated fees, will increase no more than the statutory maximum fee.

You can find out more about our fees in the university's student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full-time or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.
