Quality Management is the application of specialised managerial and technological skills to achieve the desired quality at a minimum cost and focusing on the customer. It also addresses strategic quality issues and leadership in establishing a total quality ethos. The University offers an integrated quality programme leading to the articulated awards of Postgraduate Diploma and MSc in Quality Management.
Core modules develop management skills, technical knowledge and the range of expertise required to enable students to understand, identify, analyse and assess the criteria which influence the quality decisions required at all stages of the product or service life cycle. An understanding is also given of the complexities and inter-relationships which exist in implementing costeffective quality management solutions to the ISO9000 series of standards and to the EFQM model.
Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of implementing a quality approach to the work of an organisation and the development of functional skills to satisfy an identified market demand for professionals conversant with the management of quality.
The programme keeps up-to-date with industry practices and there is a strong emphasis on practical elements such as ‘live’ quality audits within local industry, case studies and seminars with the Chartered Quality Institute. Lean manufacturing principles and six sigma are also included as part of the curriculum.
The course is suitable for those wishing to pursue a career in the industrial or service sector and is structured to respond to the latest developments in areas such as IT and European standards
