Course Details

This new engineering masters has been developed specifically for graduate engineers. Build your skills, knowledge and understanding of engineering design practice, modern design tools, and advanced engineering technologies. Advance your professional competency and readiness to tackle complex engineering challenges, whilst fulfilling the educational requirements of the Chartered Engineer Standard (CEng).

This programme will enable you to develop your career to an advanced level of design management in most industrial sectors. It will also support your progression to registration as a Chartered Engineer.

This programme involves 180 credits of study at Level 7 with a flexibility to meet your individual development needs. The core modules in advanced engineering design will be complemented by negotiated study options and a 60 credit individual dissertation project.

The advanced engineering design modules will allow you to explore systems design, product modelling, design management, and the strategies and tactics of modern design practice.  Through a project-based learning approach, you'll have the opportunity to develop competency in computer aided engineering and design optimisation tools. The negotiated study options allow you to deepen your knowledge of an engineering topic and/or professional practice, whilst the dissertation project will allow you to use your innovation and creativity to develop solutions to complex problems.

You'll be expected to maintain a record of your continuing professional development to assist you in your application for CEng.
