Study with us
- gain skills to manage technical systems and the people responsible for their development
- learn to apply a systems-thinking approach to address complex management situations
- understand the role of technology in business strategy
Why this course?
The management of large complex systems engineering projects demands a unique set of skills that are not taught within conventional engineering or business management programmes.
The aim of our MSc in Systems Engineering Management programme is to develop systems engineering management capability by creating graduates who understand the complexities of the management situations they face, and who can apply systems thinking approaches and techniques to address the challenge of managing the complexity between the technical system being developed and the people and organisations that are responsible.
You'll focus on engineered systems, however, many of the skills and techniques you'll acquire are equally applicable to other complex systems such as manufacturing and organisations.
The programme is based within the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management, the only department in the UK combining end-to-end expertise from creative design, through engineering design, manufacture and management of the entire system.
What you'll study
Through compulsory classes and a choice of two options, you'll develop a unique set of skills to help you manage systems engineering projects. You'll also undertake a group project set by an industrical client. In addition, EngD and MSc students complete an individual project and submit a dissertation.
On the programme, you'll gain skills in:
- systems decomposition and integration
- management of complexity and uncertainty within engineering, business and socio-technical systems
- processes for managing the lifecycle of systems
- verification and validation
This course is ideal for:
- project managers who need to develop their skills to address the challenges of large systems engineering projects
- recent graduates from any engineering discipline, either employed within or interested in systems engineering industries, looking to develop their skills to enhance their career
- staff and graduates who'd like to move into leading-edge systems engineering research or consultancy careers
Careers
Engineering management blends engineering principles and manufacturing technologies with project management and business, while systems engineering considers the combination of complex interrelated systems, as well as the human factors, that make up modern engineering projects.
Industries that lead the development of aerospace, automotive, civil and construction, defence, electronics, infrastructure, and power generation projects have identified that systems engineering management skills are the scarcest in the sector and are a rare commodity in today’s recruitment environment.
Example graduate job titles include:
- Systems Engineering Manager
- Systems Engineer
- Control Systems Engineer
