Mechanical Engineering & Management – (M.Sc.)

Contents

* MSc: 12 months full-time
* PgDip: 9 months full-time (September–May)

There are two semesters of taught material and a summer session working on a project or dissertation for MSc students. September entry students start with management courses and January entry students with engineering courses.

Semester 1

You will be based in the Business School, developing knowledge and skills in management principles and techniques. We offer an applied approach, with an emphasis on an informed critical evaluation of information, and the subsequent application of concepts and tools to the core areas of business and management.

Core courses
* People in organisations
* Financial information management
* Operations management
* Marketing management
* Managing creativity and innovation.

Semester 2

You will study engineering courses, which aim to enhance your group working and project management capability at the same time as improving your depth of knowledge in chosen mechanical engineering subjects.

Core course
* Integrated systems design project.

Optional courses
* Desalination technology
* Materials engineering
* Vibration.

Project or dissertation
If you are studying for an MSc, you will undertake individual project or dissertation work in the summer period (May - August). This will give you an opportunity to apply and consolidate the course material and enhance your ability to do independent work, as well as present results in the most appropriate format. Project and dissertation options are closely linked to staff research interests. September entry students have a choice of management dissertation topics in addition to mechanical engineering projects, and January entry students have a choice of mechanical engineering projects.
