Laura“The best thing about my course was the opportunity to obtain additional skills and qualifications alongside receiving my MSc. For example, I was given the opportunity to present my research findings at the Association for Project Management North West Conference, helping me to network with industry specialists. It was opportunities like these that helped me in securing a job at Siemens Mobility as their Assistant Project Planner while still studying on the course."
MSc Engineering Project Management alumna
This course brings together the latest practice in project management with expertise from engineering disciplines. As well as developing a strategic perspective on engineering challenges and opportunities, you will acquire industry-recognised engineering management expertise as defined by the Association for Project Management [APM] (in the UK) and the Project Management Institute [PMI] (in the USA). This will give you a great perspective on what employers around the world need and want. Put simply, it’s a qualification that gets you ready for work.
You will be studying the latest Industry 4.0 approach to smart systems technologies and systems engineering, covering design with innovation and sustainability in mind.
You’ll be building your management expertise by establishing the fundamentals, from cost and risk management to procurement systems and strategic communication, and then you will move on to look at the key principles and techniques associated with the successful delivery of multi-disciplinary projects.
Finally, your individual research project gives you the chance to put all the theory and skills you’ve been learning into practice.
