MSc Digital Engineering Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

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

Course Description

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 programme addresses this digital gap by developing leaders and managers for the built environment sector and beyond.

The Digital Engineering Management MSc provides an advanced understanding of how digitalisation impacts engineering management, emphasising its socio-technical nature. Given the constantly evolving nature of digital innovation, students will gain the tools needed to navigate these challenges within an engineering management framework.

Key Objectives of the Course:

  1. Explore engineering management through a socio-technical lens, focusing on both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of digitalisation.
  2. Cultivate critical thinking and research skills essential for effective decision-making and problem-solving in project contexts.
  3. Equip students with analytical, digital, and transferable skills crucial for successful careers in the built environment.

Digital engineering integrates technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), mixed realities, big data analytics, and blockchain, revolutionising construction practices. This course covers fundamental skills in these innovative digital technologies while exploring their managerial implications from a theoretical standpoint.

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.
