Almost every business or organisation uses some sort of system to keep things working efficiently and productively. This system might keep information moving securely and efficiently, or it might ensure product distribution or service availability. A systems engineer is the all-important link between complex programming and technology, and its users, customers and stakeholders. So, you’ll need a firm knowledge and understanding of both sides, and the ability to take a joined-up approach to ensuring systems meet a wide range of needs reliably, efficiently, and in user-friendly fashion.

That might sound like a tall order, but it’s a hugely rewarding career path, and this course is a great opportunity for you to develop a unique blend of practical engineering and management-orientated learning. We’re here to help you further specialise your systems engineering knowledge and skills, and completing this course successfully should make you highly employable in a range of sectors and settings.

The course meets professional institution standards in the UK and Europe, and addresses a range of contemporary issues in engineering and engineering management. If you’re looking to take a systems-based approach to engineering management, this course is could be ideal.

About this course

This course addresses contemporary issues in engineering and engineering management. In addition to helping to develop your technical knowledge and experience, this programme can give you greater confidence in your transferable and personal skills. These can include communication and team working, problem solving, logical thinking and analytical skills; all of which will be invaluable for your career success. Engineers are an integral part of our society and are often sought after for their analytical, computing and managerial abilities.

A special feature of this programme is a collaboration between the University of Bolton and South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences in Germany. It offers the opportunity for you to spend one semester of study in Germany and receive two awards, one from each University. This can strengthen your employability and demonstrate your ability to work internationally.

What Can I Do With This Qualification?
Successful completion of this course will help you progress to a management role in an engineering-based organisation, and provide you with an in-depth understanding of systems engineering in whichever of the three disciplines (Mechatronic, Electronic and Mechanical) you choose.

Normally, you should have at least a Lower Second Class Honours degree (2.2) in an engineering-related subject, and appropriate work experience.

Your application will also be considered if you have alternative equivalent qualifications with extensive relevant work experience.

We welcome your application if you hold a degree awarded by an overseas institution. The University will assess the equivalence of your qualifications.

The course is designed to meet professional institution standards in the UK and Europe.
We’ll encourage you to undertake a work placement and/or an industry-based project.
You can also choose from two alternative pathways: Mechanical or Electronics Systems Engineering.
You can select common systems modules, whichever pathway you take.
For this three semester programme, you’ll normally study semester 1 the University of Bolton, UK and semester 2 at South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, Soest, Germany. The third semester, which is largely devoted to project work, is normally undertaken the University of Bolton.

Teaching, Learning And Assessment

We offer a range of teaching and learning approaches, including case studies, discussions, lectures, tutorials, demonstrations and computer-aided learning sessions. We expect you to be fairly autonomous and self-directed in your studies, but of course we’ll offer you plenty of encouragement and support along the way. The project aspect of the programme is your chance to integrate and demonstrate the practical and theoretical aspects of the course. The project carries a third of the total marks for this qualification, and is assessed jointly by the course supervisor and an external supervisor.

Each module on the programme involves several assessments, which all contribute towards your final grade for the module, and to your overall Master’s qualification. Assessment types are varied, but typically involve assignments, practical work, projects, oral presentations (including presentations based on your main project) and formal exams at the end of the programme.
