The Systems Engineering Management MSc has been specifically designed for the needs of engineering professionals working in the field of complex systems development. The programme encompasses not only the technical tools and approaches needed to build success in this area, but also the management dimension of the relevant processes.
Students gain an integrated, interdisciplinary view of complex systems and an advanced understanding of the systems engineering process. They gain the ability to apply this process to a variety of real-world situations and the management skills necessary to facilitate the development of complex systems on time and within budget.
The MSc programme requires the completion of eight 15-credit modules and one 60-credit module.
The 15 credit modules include five compulsory taught modules, one option taught module, and two minor research modules: the Project Concept module and the Systems Engineering in Practice Module (SEIP). The 60-credit module is the final research module.
It is recommended to choose one of Project Management or Leadership as the option module, although there are other alternatives.
A minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. At least two years’ experience working in an engineering/technology environment is expected.
