MSc Digital Engineering Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 1 year Part-time: 2 years Flexible: up to 5 years

Course Description

There has been a radical digital shift in the built environment sector, particularly in construction. The Digital Engineering Management MSc responds to the ongoing industry need for greater understanding and analysis for how pioneering digital technologies shape and are shaped by organisations, projects and supply chains. This innovative and much-needed programme addresses this digital gap by developing leaders and managers for the built environment sector and beyond.

About this degree

The programme addresses the industry need for responding to digital transformation through a socio-technical approach. Digital engineering describes the integration of various digital technologies, such as mixed realities, big data analytics and Building Information Modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT) that transform construction and other capital industries. The students will be taught through an engineering management framework, encompassing the following knowledge areas:

  • Organisation – understanding how firms are transformed by digital innovations,
  • Project and process – learning socio-technical skills for engineering management,
  • Engineering – constructing the digital thread across the lifecycle using various digital tools.

Who this course is for

This programme is designed for early to mid-career professionals in the built environment seeking to specialise in digital engineering, project management and organisational management. In addition to enabling business and management graduates the opportunity to specialise, the programme will also be attractive to design and engineering graduates wishing to adapt their career options, and to graduates in other related numerate subject areas (e.g. mechanical engineering, software engineering etc.).

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university in a relevant subject (including engineering, mathematical-based science, built environment), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. In exceptional cases, a lesser academic qualification combined with substantial professional experience and demonstrable academic ability will allow acceptance onto the programme.
