Study Engineering Management MSc with Placement Year

Course Highlights

The MSc in Engineering Management aims to enhance knowledge and skills in project and supply chain management including broader business management aspects.

This MSc is designed to reflect the expectation that candidates joining the award will have some suitable technical education, knowledge and/or expertise. It is also designed to have a strategic viewpoint and so a market-facing perspective is embedded across the modules delivered.

Project and people management, innovation, supply chain management and finance are the key knowledge aspects of this degree and address broadly the requirements of the benchmarks in these key areas.

Our learning, teaching and assessment use extensively case-based approaches, which consider the strategic and operational aspects of the operations of business within the international context.

During the course, stakeholder perspectives are considered extensively, and the realisation of strategies incorporates many aspects of key functional and operational concerns for businesses.

Choosing a Professional Placement MSc is a win-win for your career, giving you the chance to get real experience, apply your cutting-edge skills in the workplace and stand out to future employers.

In the first year you will have help from the University to find a placement, whilst developing your expertise. You will then spend your second year out in industry on placement, getting the chance to work with industry professionals and grow your network of industry contacts. Bringing your university-acquired knowledge and insights to industry, you will get to make a difference to the workplace and make lasting links with your employer.

Students need to find and secure their own placement, supported by the University. A preparation module will also help you to get ready for your placement.
