How You Study
Students are able to study a range of topics to develop a critical understanding of engineering and management theory. The course incorporates engineering and management core modules which every student must study. Students can then choose four optional modules, enabling them to tailor their learning to their individual background and career ambitions. Teaching is informed by real-world examples and students will be expected to participate in lectures, seminars, and workshops to examine, research, discuss, and debate topics.
Following the taught element of the programme, students can either the Engineering Research Project or Engineering Research Project (Industry Placement). A research project is core to each pathway. For students with an industry placement the project will form part of this.
The Engineering Research Project provides the chance to complete an in-depth investigation of a specific topic within industry or academia, enabling students to apply new knowledge in a real-life setting.
Students selecting the Engineering Research Project (Industry Placement) can undertake an eight-month work placement in industry with one of the University's industry partners, or with an independently sourced organisation. Students successfully completing this route will receive the alternative award title of MSc Engineering Management (with Industrial Placement).
Students are expected to pay for their own travel, accommodation, and general living expenses while undertaking a placement. Please note that the option to undertake the Industrial Placement route will be subject to students' performance during the taught element of the programme and students will be expected to identify and secure their own work placements. Students will be introduced to prospective employers and supported in this process.
Students who require a student visa to study this programme will be issued a CAS with a course length that should be sufficient to complete the course without the placement module. If you decide to undertake the module and find a work placement, this will add additional time to your course and a new student visa will be required before the work placement can begin to extend your stay in the UK.
Weekly contact hours on this programme may vary depending on the individual module options chosen and the stage of study. Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. For every hour spent in class, students are expected to spend at least two to three hours in independent study.
Course composition and delivery is different for each module and may include lectures, seminars, workshops, independent study, practicals, research, and one-to-one learning. For more detailed information please contact the Programme Leader.
In support of part-time delivery, where possible, each teaching contact takes over a minimum four hour period, with a minimum of 12 contacts expected across a single term.

With the potential to work closely with our industrial partners or your own sponsoring companies, the programme aims to provide practical experiences.
Teaching includes the use of real-life case studies, with the aim of enabling students to relate theory to practice across a range of business situations. Students will have a range of opportunities such as taking part in workshops led by business experts, visiting companies to view current practices (costs of which are covered by the School of Engineering), and engaging in company based projects. To support these activities, students will have access to a set of careers events that are designed to help to build a CV, deal with psychometric tests, and formulate effective applications.
Fees and Funding
For eligible students, there are more ways than ever before to fund your postgraduate study, whether you want to do a taught or research course. For those wishing to undertake a Master's course, UK students can apply for a loan as a contribution towards the course and living costs. Loans are also available to those who wish to undertake doctoral study. The University offers a number of scholarships and funded studentships for those interested in postgraduate study. Learn how Master's and PhD loans, scholarships, and studentships can help you fund your studies on our Postgraduate Fees and Funding pages.
Programme-Specific Additional Costs
For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials, or equipment required. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for travel and accommodation will be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional, students will normally be required to pay their own transport, accommodation, and general living costs.
With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and students will find that our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that they are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and they will be responsible for this cost.
