Computer-Aided Engineering
(with options in Analysis; Business; Management; Manufacturing; Visualisation and Analysis; Web Technology*)
This programme has been designed primarily for engineering and technology graduates to provide them with a more in-depth knowledge of Computer-Aided Engineering and its application.
The flexible structure of the course facilitates specialist study in specific areas as well as the broadening of students’ knowledge base through the study of complementary topics.
The course has been structured around four core modules. Students then select from a list of possible option streams, each made up of two modules, to complete the award. The qualification awarded will reflect the chosen option stream in the title e.g. Postgraduate Diploma in Computer-Aided Engineering with Manufacturing
Students will study a range of topics, which cover the product development cycle from conceptual design through to the supply of products to the market.
The core topics include computeraided design, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computeraided manufacture, rapid prototyping and project management. The available option streams allow students to either specialise or extend their knowledge in a support discipline. Each option stream comprises designated specialist modules, the areas of study being analysis, business, management, manufacturing, visualisation and analysis, or web technology.
MSc students are also required to complete an MSc dissertation. The aim of the dissertation is to enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the application, or integration of Computer-Aided Engineering techniques in an industrial context, their scope of application and limitations. Each student will be allocated a supervisor from the staff of the University who will advise and supervise the student while undertaking their dissertation

Diploma candidates must have a first degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Design or Computer-Aided Engineering from a UK university or equivalent institution. Candidates with other professional qualifications equivalent to a degree, or a lesser appropriate qualification and equivalent experience gained in industry, will also be considered. Diploma students may proceed to the MSc programme by satisfying the progression requirements. MSc applicants should have an Honours degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Design or Computer-Aided Engineering.
English Language
It is essential that you have a good command of written and spoken English if you wish to excel in your studies. As a rough guide, a TOEFL score of 550 or above or an IELTS score of 6 or above (5 in each component) are acceptable as evidence of proficiency in English.
