Reviews
Course programme
This MSc programme offers very relevant modules in highly sought-after engineering and scientific subjects. Computational modelling has become an essential part of industrial product development; the manufacturing sector in particular has been experiencing a significant uptake of computational engineering technologies to increase its competitiveness in the global market.
Learning, teaching & assessment
The modules in this programme are delivered with lectures and lab-based tutorials giving a good balance between scientific methodologies and hands-on practice.
There is a heavy emphasis on the use of computational engineering methods and this is reflected in the way the programme is delivered and assessed.
Modules are assessed through either course work or exams. The major project is assessed by dissertation; examples of past major projects include development of CFD code, aero and structural dynamics of vehicles and aircraft, and analysis of development of industrial machines.
Career opportunities
Career prospects for graduates are excellent. The programme puts practical engineering modelling, research and project management skills in to the hands of graduate. This helps career progression in industries where computer-based technology is required including manufacturing, R&D, science, IT, design and academia.
Recent graduates have been employed in a range of jobs including:
- product development with a manufacturer of domestic heating products
- computer aided design with a manufacturer of military/surveillance equipment
Personal Development
Along with the range of technical skills, the Programme aims to develop self reliance, project management, IT communications and research skills.
You will develop and deliver a major dissertation and the necessary project management processes. You will also make several individual presentations and get chance to hone your interview techniques.
