Course essentials
This programme develops well-rounded engineers, equipped to lead in any sector, domain or team – including in emerging technologies. You'll gain a thorough grounding in technical knowledge, complemented by expertise in business operations and strategy, and an awareness in the importance of building human-centred and sustainable products and systems.
Through this unique skillset, you’ll be able to provide a vital link between multidisciplinary teams and maintain a holistic view of the entire business system, facilitating collaboration, removing barriers, and delivering impactful solutions.
You'll explore a dynamic curriculum that combines key management topics like operations and logistics, project management, and business innovation, with advanced engineering fields. Choose from cutting-edge modules in renewable energy, AI and machine learning, advanced aerodynamics, future automotive technologies, security, systems engineering and thinking, and more.
Throughout the course, you'll acquire fundamental theoretical concepts and apply them by tackling projects in interdisciplinary teams. You will develop key workplace skills, including team leadership, collaboration, risk- and time-management, and communication skills such as producing funding pitches and project reports for different audiences (both technical and business.)
Alongside this, you’ll tackle a major project that combines scientific innovation and practical relevance. You’ll plan, design, and create a novel prototype or model to solve a real-world problem in fields like energy storage, telecommunications, manufacturing, mobility, urban design, or healthcare. You'll present and demonstrate your project, gaining valuable communication and presentation skills.
Masters’ students can also undertake research as part of a major live grant - under the supervision of experts - alongside teams of PhD and postdoctoral researchers, with some publishing their project in renowned journals and presenting their work at conferences.
