Course structure
Each taught module is delivered over a three-week intensive period. Part-time study is offered on the basis of taking the full-time modules over more than one year, but not normally exceeding five years.
Part-time students often complete the degree over two years. Typically, in the first year, they take four taught modules and in the second year they take the remaining four taught modules plus the project. It si recommended that part-time students undetake their project in collaboration with a company they are working for. The four taught modules taken in any one year are usually alternative modules scheduled during the course. Hence, part-time students may take a module and then miss the next module. In this way, they are required to attend seven working days over a six-week period, which is near to the traditional part-time study mode of one-day attendance per week.
The MSc Project normally takes five months to complete. Students may undertake work for their MSc Projects abroad providing adequate supervision is maintained and the assessments are completed on time.
Areas of study
Students examine how to make first impressions count when presenting ideas to decision-makers; how to apply design-for-manufacture techniques to reduce manufacturing costs; study the economic considerations of starting up a small business; explore the protection of new design ideas and concepts, which enables originators to benefit from their creativity; examine the application of product validation and certification; learn a range of prototyping and modelling skills and techniques. The MSc project provides an opportunity to apply the skills learnt in the taught modules to a new product or service proposed by the student.
