  • Duration

    2 Years

You will learn how to analyse complex technical problems and challenges faced by many real-world engineering companies of different sizes. You will also study the operational issues experienced by these companies through real case studies, and how to implement logical solutions under different scenarios. In addition, you will be able to measure the potentials of an engineering company not just through its technological adaptation but also from the entrepreneur viewpoint.

Throughout the course, you will have many hands-on sessions to practise what you have learned in the classroom. These practical skills will be obtained through using specialist software and hardware in engineering functions analysis, CAD/CAM, finite element modelling, operation management, quality analysis, business decision modelling, supply chain management and resources simulation. The project dissertation will allow you to develop a chosen field of knowledge which will complement your career ambition. Teamwork, group presentations, case studies and industrial speakers are other highlights of the course, enhancing your learning experience and employability.

About this course

The Advanced Industrial and Manufacturing Systems course covers all the skills needed to design and manufacture a new product. It focuses on turning ideas into real products in the most cost-effective way.
The course will develop your professional, analytical and management skills, as well as improving your technical skills and knowledge. For example, you will gain communication, teamwork, IT and problem-solving skills.
Each module combines a stimulating mix of lectures, practical laboratory work, group work, case studies and presentations.
Experienced industrial speakers provide students with insightful information of where and how the subject knowledge is applied in industry, thus enhancing students' employability.
Your MSc project allows you to build on your academic knowledge and gain in-depth knowledge in your area of specialisation. It can be an excellent selling point when looking for a job or promotion.
Input from industry experts complements your academic teaching throughout the course. Visits to industrial companies further your understanding of how manufacturing technologies are used in real production environments.
You can choose to study the course full-time, full-time with work placement, or part-time to suit your circumstance. The two intakes September and January start dates will give you extra flexibility.
We regularly review all our postgraduate courses to make sure that they are up-to-date, reflect industry needs and are comparable to other university courses.
This course is accredited by the IMechE. It will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

The market for graduates of the MSc Advanced Industrial & Manufacturing Systems is continually evolving and this programme, with its balance of applied specialist learning and practical, will prepare you for roles such as:

Project leaders and managers
Manufacturing Plant Engineer/Manager
Operation Managers
Engineering consultants
Quality Manager
Scholars in higher education
Research and development engineers
Opportunity to undertake further research for a PhD qualification
Maintenance evaluation in Transportation systems
Software developer

Good honours degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline, and/or suitable industrial experience.

The MSc will meet, in part, the academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng(Hons) accredited for CEng, will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.

It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc programme, who do not also have an appropriately accredited honours degree, will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a chartered engineer with the Engineering Council; and will need to have their first qualification individually assessed through the individual case procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
