MSc Engineering Management Part-time

This course addresses contemporary issues in engineering and engineering management. Graduates of the course will be ready to enter industry, especially in roles that demand knowledge of digital engineering and manufacturing technologies. In addition to developing your technical knowledge and experience, this programme will also give you greater confidence in your transferable and personal skills. These include problem solving, critical thinking, team working, forward planning, target setting, communication and marketing.

What Can I Do With This Qualification?
As a graduate of this MSc, you’ll be prepared to promote and develop digital engineering and manufacturing solutions in an engineering-based organisation, and have the potential to progress to a management role. You could pursue a career in sectors such as motorsport, automotive, aerospace, integrated systems, mechanical, electrical, electronic, electromechanical, fluid power components/systems or materials.

Typical occupations include research and development engineer, design and development engineer, system integration engineer, quality assurance/compliance engineer, test/qualification engineer, manufacture/production engineer, maintenance/test engineer, product support engineer, decommissioning/disposal engineer, supply chain/procurement engineer, and engineering business manager. It’s likely that you will seek to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, and this master’s is designed to meet the academic requirements leading to this professional registration.

Research is an exciting career path that will allow you to explore working in research and development roles or in academia. An MSc can also be used as a stepping-stone for those who wish to continue to an MPhil or PhD.

Normally, you should have at least a lower second class honours degree (2.2) in a relevant subject; for instance, a BSc (Hons) or BEng (Hons) in mechanical engineering, motorsport engineering, automotive engineering, biomedical engineering or mechatronic engineering.

If you have alternative equivalent qualifications and relevant work experience, then we’ll be happy to consider your application and may invite you for an interview or request a portfolio of work.

The University of Bolton’s MSc Engineering Management uses UK-SPEC learning outcomes and is designed to meet the academic requirements leading to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. Please see the Engineering Council UK website for further details of UK-SPEC.

We’ll be seeking accreditation of the MSc Engineering Management for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

Course materials are available online, allowing you to prepare work at home and make the most of the highly interactive in-class tuition.
Our approach to teaching and learning is ‘student-centred’, so we’ll work with you on an individual basis, providing tailored help and support throughout your studies.
By studying alongside students and professionals from other engineering specialisms or alternative industrial sectors, you can benefit from a wider range of knowledge and experience that supports cross-disciplinary thinking.
This course is based at the University of Bolton’s campus in the North West of England.
We also offer master’s degrees and postgraduate apprenticeships in Systems Engineering and Motorsport Engineering, and this programme is part of a well-established suite of master’s programmes offered by the University of Bolton.
