Around the globe there's a growing need for engineers with solid management skills. Our Master's in Engineering Management with Industrial Practice has been developed to respond to the specific needs of the manufacturing and engineering sectors. The course offers a clear and focused alternative to traditional MBA degrees, and includes a year of study followed by a one-year sponsored internship.
Students combine lab-based exercises with lectures, seminars, simulations and workshops to explore issues including finance and business planning, sustainability, global engineering and supply chain management. Graduates taking this course will gain the knowledge and skills for successful careers in local and global engineering management.
What you should know about this course
- It's aimed at engineering and technology graduates who wish to extend and develop their skills, as well as graduates looking to focus on managerial roles within engineering.
- You will complete a supervised individual project that runs throughout the academic year.
- Students secure a year-long, fully paid placement as an opportunity to put your first-year knowledge into practice.
- You are responsible for securing your placement (with our help). But if this is not completed, you can still graduate with an award without industrial practice.
