This programme is for engineers currently employed in the manufacturing industry, science graduates wishing to make a career in manufacturing or a related industry and manufacturing engineers wishing to update their knowledge.

The programme equips graduates with the skills required by industry for the effective design, implementation and management of modern manufacturing systems.

Case studies are used to provide links to ongoing research and industrial applications. Hands-on experience complements computer-based teaching in simulation modelling, manufacturing, robotics and assembly.

Employers are now finding it difficult to recruit engineers with relevant skills and experience of modern manufacturing techniques. This programme enables engineers to improve manufacturing companies through modern manufacturing technology and techniques. Career prospects lie in a range of areas from design and manufacturing engineering, management roles in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, food processing and packaging sectors of the manufacturing industry, to manufacturing systems consultants.

The electronics, food processing and packaging sectors of the manufacturing industry are particularly buoyant, and offer promising career opportunities. The majority of graduates secure employment before the end of the programme. Recent graduates have secured jobs with IBM, ICL/Celestica, GEC Marconi Avionics, Motorola, FARMEC and ISL.
